Can't take decent pics of proof coins,, yet

A while ago I posted a message about how the gov lens are useless for protecting coins if displayed, which these were.
Now I have to admit I like how they look now, but if left displayed they'll get darker and then I may not like the look. Sooo, I'm thinking of sending them in to be slabbed, but thought I'd better ask a couple questions before sending them.

First, do you think they'll slab them ok?

Second, I'd just send them in the lens but would like to hear some thoughts about having them in put in individual holders vs multi-coin holders.

Third, what is the technique for shooting proof coins so they do not come out black?

Any other constructive comments are welcome, thanks. image

    can't help with pic technique, but I love the toning on the coppers!

    Too many positive BST transactions with too many members to list.
