This is what the NGC images look like now. Unfortunately they don't show lustre:

Coin is NGC MS64

    It's not horrible. Better than others I've seen from them.

    Really not a bad image, just seems to be missing something image

    While better, they are still not up to PCGS standards.

    For those who are not able to image their own coins, I think $3 is a fair price for what NGC offers. Quality issues aside. If I were to send in coins, might as well have them imaged. My photography skills are really hit or miss.

    PCGS has a much better photography service right now (is it still going?).

    I've seen a proof shot by NGC, it wasn't the greatest. Whatever method they use really kills the luster. I'd like to see a nice toner imaged by them.
    WTB: Eric Plunk cards, jersey (signed or unsigned), and autographs. Basically anything related to him
