Cundinamarca

Just back from PCGS Paris where it crossed at grade. This was my biggest ANA purchase.

    Nice. TrueViews?

    PS- this is maybe the second time I'm seeing what looks like an official PCGS photo of the whole slab?



    Is it a PCGS Europe thing?



    PPS- I will add that, given the choice of one or the other, I prefer a TrueView to a full slab shot, but in a perfect world, the cert pages would have BOTH.

    Outstanding piece.

    Another motivating post to image coins I obtained prior to my current practice. Is it considered bad form to attach them to others' posts? I did that to the Seljuqs of Rum thread.

    Yes, but do they do a TrueView image too, or just the full-slab one?

    Only full slab. No true view option

    Ah, so more like NGC, then. (But at least with better quality slab images than NGC's cert pages.)

    Nice looking coin! Although I prefer the whole coin Trueviews, I also like the slab picture. There's even a max size option in case you want to blow it up larger. My guess is the photography setup is less customizable in this location, so it's easier to just insert a slab and fire off a few shots.

    That is a great coin ! Nice score. ??

    Can always count on LordM to get in an NGC jab. image



    I recall having seen you post perfectly nice pictures of this coin in its previous slab, no?



    Nonetheless, very nice coin! Congrats Boosibri.

    Yep I posted pics in an NGC slab. Coin crossed at grade on the first try which is a real plus.

    Love that giant pomegranate. Never seen it in such detail. Is this the highest graded? (clearly I have not taken the time to check).



    It is certainly the nicest I have seen. Great addition! Enjoy in good health
