  Did you use the new photobox on your 1805? Something is not right as the details on your before images are much sharper and the overall coin is easier to see?
  
  I have also used Plast-X which works pretty well.

  Now I'll have to loomfor that Plast-X stuff. Is is easy to find?
  
  I also echo the previous poster - you before the light box photos do appear sharper and better IMO.

  I use plast-x. You can generally find it your local care care establishment. The lighting from photoboxes is too soft for me.

  The After Plast-X photo of the '05 is with the light box. The full-size photo actually shows better detail. I have to shrink them down to 350 X 350 so they'll fit in my PCGS download file. Looks like it loses alot of its 'in-hand' look after re-imaging them... bummer.
  
  Yeah, Plast-X can be found in most any auto parts store. A bottle of the stuff will run you about $6-$8 bucks.
  
  cheers,
