What was the grade on it? I really like that coin.

It's graded PF64 in an old NGC fatty slab. Visual presentation is much better then the grade since the limiting factor is some light hairlines that are well hidden by the color.
Fighting the angle of light to not glare the slab and get the color of the coin is tuff. I bet that coin looks even better than your image. Thank you and the owner for sharing.

Those white holders almost always make imaging NGC coins tougher. I created some black "overlays" for NGC slabs which only have holes where the coin resides in the slab. That prevents much of the reflection/glare as well as some of the difficulties in capturing the color of something around a stark white background.

But, has anybody else ever noticed that some types of AT can be very difficult to photograph?
