<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brg5658, post: 2482850, member: 29751&quot;]NGC has been doing this for the past year or so.&nbsp; They are slowly replacing the horrible black and white scans from the Krause books with actual coin images.&nbsp; I also have not been able to determine the rhyme or reason for when they do and don&#039;t take these high quality images.&nbsp; I think it may be a matter of the photographer being available but such that it doesn&#039;t slow down the turn around process of the submission.</p><p><br /></p><p>PCGS has done this for years for their CoinFacts pages.&nbsp; I&#039;m not certain TPGs have to ask permission to photograph coins -- or it may be buried in the fine print of the submission form.&nbsp; Photographs of 3 dimensional items are considered independent artistic representations.&nbsp; As such, NGC legally owns the copyright to these images, not the person who owns the coin.&nbsp; Though I think this is a moot point, as I don&#039;t see NGC trying to capitalize on this in any way.&nbsp; It is a VERY nice upgrade from seeing a black and white photo of the coin to see an actual example photographed![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
