I would like some opinions as to which photos represents this variety best. I am not to familiar with it and want to provide the best representation I can. Coin is in a PCGS AU58FB holder.

Also I see some green in the pics around the date and initals, is this PVC? Need to let my client know if it is.

Thanks for any and all opinions.

    Todd: You're practically using a microscope to take your pictures in order to see the "PVC". In the real world, however, it seems pretty inconsequential at best... if it's PVC at all.
    When in doubt, don't.

    It's just a little camera...... I still have to give the pics to my client so have to let him know, dont want him to see it later and I never mentioned it.

    all 3 pics are good at showing the details. personally i`m partial to pic#1
    and the little bit of green stuff is probably some copper oxide and not PVC
    i could be wrong but if it were PVC damage it might be more severe and more wide spread
    thats why i say no.

    Todd, I see no PVC. Great pic, no probs.

    I have owned both the Phili an the Denver of this variety. The P is the really pronounced one. Super macros bud, but as I said, no PVC.

    There have been many times I have seen my pics show such harsh flaws and things the eye dont see. You almost have to think " J PEG " when coin shopping if you sell on the web. Every coin must be scrutinized as to how the pic will show. You must mentally picture each coin when buying.

    2 votes for #1 is good enough for me. Appreciate the thoughts on the pics and PVC.
