Message:: [QUOTE="Conder101, post: 1752514, member: 66"]I think they do now, but they are almost three years behind NGC in doing so, and there are 26 years worth of PCGS slabs out there that were produced before they started taking and putting up images. Even if you are only looking up this generation of holder less than 1 in 6 will have an image. And the images have to be GOOD images of the COIN not the whole slab. NGC has over four years worth of images, but in my opinion most of them are notof good enough quality to identify the coin unless they have obviously identifying features. And if you think this is bad, this was a rare high value coin that is going to be scrutinized closely. What if this was a more common coin worth say only $150. It costs the counterfeiter the same thing to make either one. Sure they make more on the 89 CC, but they sell fewer of them and they get caught quickly. They can move a LOT of the lower priced ones and it may be a long time before anyone notices them.  For every one 1889 CC they have out there, they could have a couple hundred semi-keys or just "better date" pieces and who would notice?[/QUOTE]
