[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2958365, member: 10461"]Yes, that's a Secure Plus photo from their "sniffer" equipment, not a TrueView. That tells me this coin was slabbed before TrueView images came included with Secure Plus. Up until two or so years ago, you used to have to pay extra for TrueView on top of the Secure Plus fees. Now it's included, which eases some of my grumbles about how PCGS forces all World coins to be submitted through the Secure Plus tier, whether you want it or not. Personally, I don't give a fig for the Secure Plus features like the electronic sniffer and all that, most of the time, but I do like TrueViews. And one nice thing about TrueView being included with Secure Plus now is that more and more often, when you're searching eBay and see a World coin in a PCGS holder with the gold Secure Plus shield, that means there's a fair chance there's a TrueView on the cert page, unless it's an earlier Secure Plus holder like this one. PS- I now see [USER=76863]@baseball21[/USER] already pretty much covered everything I just said, with 1/4 the verbosity. And I'm late in coming here. Oh well.[/QUOTE]
