[QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 25685135, member: 10461"]Here’s hopin’. I confess I too was always a fan of the old “glamour shots” style. I’ve mostly abandoned PCGS for NGC in the last year or two, however, after finding NGC’s Photovision service (but [I]not[/I] their cheaper “Internet Imaged” tier) to be superior to PCGS’ offerings. The fact that my submissions include a fair proportion of Ancients (which, as we know, PCGS does not encapsulate) was another deciding factor in my switch. Now NGC gets [I]all[/I] my raw submissions, not just the Ancients. But I recently did submit an already-graded coin to PCGS for reholdering and TruView. [URL='https://www.pcgs.com/cert/73263326']The images were OK[/URL]. PCGS only gives you the TrueView montage and one large obverse pic, whereas NGC gives you the Photovision montage plus large individual obverse [I]and[/I] reverse pics (and you get the slab shots on the cert page as well). Weirdly, the PCGS TrueView of that Saint has (as of this posting) only a plain white background instead of the usual TrueView-branded wallpaper. Eh, that doesn’t matter so much to me, as long as I got useable pics, which I did.[/QUOTE]
