    Thanks to tmot99 this one came from Utah. No pun intended. With original case 5 to 6 known with one in the ANA museum(SP?)

    That's not bad (the pic) at all. I think that you may have too much light or it is angled to harshly. Try backing it away from the slabbed and focus it just off the top of the coin. Trial and error...and lots of it!

    Oh yeah, that is another kickin' piece. Colorful.

    Yes, that is MUCH better! I'm glad I could help make that purchase possible. When I saw it, I knew you'd be all over it.
