Poll: To crack or not to crack
A certain member has requested my Coin photo Imaging services. The coin he sent me is in a slab and the slab has scuffs on it and is just being a pain to image. Should he be convinced to crack out it for MUCH BETTER PICTURES?

That's why he sent you the coin-so you could overcome the problems with imaging the slabbed coin without removing it.
You simply have to achieve an photographic epiphany...

Oh him! I am waiting to hear from him as well. Slabs are a pain in the rump to photograph, crack it and tell him to deal with it!

There is a product called NOVUS Polish that was developed for polishing acrylic. We use where I work (machining of plastic parts). It does a superb job of removing scuffs and light scratches on slabs. Just make sure the cloth you use is soft.
Website, it is sold over the counter at a place near you in Bridgeport named Modern Plastics.

Bill , the link doesn't work, and it's because it's directed to your shopping cart, even when the url is fixed.

P.S. I fixed the link but you'll have to look for the product.
