Update on the LasVegasTeddy photo contest

Got the coin today, and should finish with it and have it in the mail Tuesday to MessyDeck.

I think the pictures will come out much better once I crack it out of the slab, dip it, and polish it up......image

    Is the slab all scratched up? I did my best to make it impossible for all of you to shoot through that scratched plastic, i gotta get an advantage somehow!

    Messydesk has it now and will send it to me the end of this week or the first of next week. The delay is due to him being out of town for the week. I will send it to Paul (commoncents05) as soon as I finish. I should be able to get some great close ups of all the slab scratches.image

    I'm going to breach etiquette and go straight to the triple dog dare!image

    Hopefully, that means i did the scratching correctly. And Teddy, now that you mention it, i may have made one or two scratches a little to deep. image

    And as for the voting beginning in a few weeks, i don't even have a notification on what i must submit, and haven't edited all my pics yet. Stinkin college courses and homework taking up all my time...and a few other after-school activities. image

    You guys could always send it to LordM, I'm sure he could figure out something to do with it.

    The coin is currently in my SDB as I'm in Germany until Friday. I managed to get all the scratches out of the slab and take some pictures before I left town, but I didn't have a chance to re-scratch the holder and mail the coin out. I like to use 60 grit sandpaper on a random orbit power sander. A bench grinder is too unidirectional, although sometimes it leaves nice hairline cracks in the plastic.

    I'm surprised this coin wasn't sent to Ray to shoot. image
