    Re: Slabbed coins - There are some coins that LIVE within clear plastic and wear their labels with pride... while there are others that HIDE behind scratched plastic and are simply dragged along by a label. Then there are those coins that simply hang out, naked and free image

    It'll likely be much better looking in hand. Fugly pictures. Nice strike.

    I suspect the photographer's technique makes the coin appear baggier than it really is.

    Looks like some photoshop filters were added. Specifically, the "sharpen" filter. Some of the spots where the lighting strikes the coin are kind of pixelated out.

    Looks pretty unattractive to me. There may be a reason why the slab pictures were not shown as required by ebay rules. --Jerry

    Looks authentic. Remember:
