It will be interesting, this is a beast of a coin and I for one could not capture it's beauty no matter what I tried. I was tempted to crack it out and try but I guess that's a no no. >>

Hmmm, can't wait to see the photos. Took me about 10 shots and I think I did OK but did not quite nail it. You are right though lighting is key.0 -

I tried this once and never again. Folks holding the coin for three days or more just drags this on for way too long. Just my opinion which is not worth much. 0

Sometimes it not so much the folks holding it for more than three days as it is finding the next person to send it to. When I had it the destination changed at least three times before I finally sent it as the people it was going to were not ready or not around to receive it.0 -

Nah....I was almost blind when I got it (torn cornea) and imaged it....now,now that my sight is mostly back, but I don't have the coin in hand, we shall see if the image is even close
(easy to image, not easy to get right ) I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

In order to come up with a winner there will be four groups to vote on. Each group will contain the finished images (obverse and reverse) of seven contestants. There will be separate voting on obverse and reverse images.
You will vote on your favorite obverse image and favorite reverse image from each group. The four group winners of the obverse image and the four group winners of the reverse image will be included in the finals.
The voting on the first four groups will run for one week. The final tally will include the votes from both NGC and PCGS message boards. The final group will also run one week. Contestants with the most votes for obverse and reverse images will each receive $100, although it is possible for one person to walk away with $200. No names will be used until the voting is over.
If anyone still has to send me their images, please PM me.

Actually it's been closer to 8 months. It was gone all of Sept, Oct, Nov, Dec and now in the middle of the 4th month this year. I know the coin looks the same, by the pics I've seen, but the slab looks like it was exposed to some heat. Looks like it will need to be re-slabbed. I'm definitely looking forward to getting it back.

Ooh, that smarts. Back when the PO was irradiating a bunch of stuff to kill all the mail-borne anthrax, a friend had a silver dollar arrive with the Mylar from the 2x2 melted to it.John

I had a coin in a similar gasket... I never realized it was not like that when it went into the holder."Wars are really ugly! They're dirty

That's what it looked like when I received it, my pics too.
I emailed Bob pronto, appears it came in contact with heat of some sort.
My pics are horrible.

I'm guessing someone tried a 50mm lens and some really hot lamps inbetween the slab and the lens to get that gasket to melt.0
