<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 475528, member: 66&quot;]If the photo archive concept is widely embraced by the market you make have to if you want to sell any expensive coins.&nbsp; Either that or accept a lowball bid for them.&nbsp; Ive seen this several times when one of the top two made a major change in one of their slabs.&nbsp; You start seeing buy offers that state &quot;new holders only, lower prices for older holders&quot;&nbsp; and sellers touting in their ads that their coins are all in the new holders.&nbsp; I could see offers being restricted only to those coins that can be verified in the photo archives.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>The picture files will not be available for viewing until 2009.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Pictures are supposed to be available on the serial number certification page which is now going to be free to all.&nbsp; (Previously it was only available to paying members.)</p><p><br /></p><p>My concern is &quot;How good are the images going to be?&quot;&nbsp; NGC has never had a good reputation for their photography.&nbsp; The images in their Photoproofs are just so so, the images for their program that lets you get images of your submitted coins for $3 were just mediocre scans, and the images of the Eliasberg foreign gold coins on their photocertifcates were all out of focus.&nbsp; If the images are not high resolution with sharp focus and the color accurately represented then it isn&#039;t worthwhile because the coin in hand won&#039;t look like the photo, and small detail needed to verify that the coin in the picture is the same one as the coin in hand will not be visible.&nbsp; And you still have the limitation problems inherent to the low resolution available from a computer screen.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
