<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 1921316, member: 29751&quot;]I think people are constantly confused by what PCGS calls their different photo services.&nbsp; CoinFacts and TrueView images are of the same quality, but are not the same PCGS service. </p><p><br /></p><p><b><u>CoinFacts</u></b> images (<i>without the PCGS background and Certificate number</i>) are taken by the PCGS folks to populate the images in their online CoinFacts resource.&nbsp; There is <span style="color: #ff0000">no charge</span> to the owner for CoinFacts images.</p><p><br /></p><p><b><u>TrueView</u> </b>images (<i>with the PCGS background and Certificate number</i>) are taken by the PCGS folks at the request of the submitter/owner and <span style="color: #ff0000">for a fee</span>.&nbsp; Sometimes the TrueView images are also added to the CoinFacts database of images without the background and certificate number matte).</p><p><br /></p><p><b><u>SecurePlus</u></b> images (low quality scans of coins submitted under the SecurePlus grading tiers) are intended to be a &quot;fingerprint&quot; of the coin surfaces for verification and authentication purposes only.&nbsp; This scan is a part of the SecurePlus submission fee, and the quality is generally pretty poor (as is the case with scans of coins in general).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
