[QUOTE="WingedLiberty, post: 1229799, member: 26030"]I am confused ... Does anybody on this board know the answer to this? (I would ask PCGS customer service, but they never respond) Are PCGS Secure Plus "Digital Fingerprint" images available to the public? I just had some coins graded by PCGS through their Secure Plus program and I can't seem to find any images of them anywhere. Do all PCGS Secure Plus coins have digital fingerprint images made, automatically and at no additional charge, or do you have to ask for it (and pay extra)? If Digital Fingerprint images are automatically made for PCGS Secure Plus coins, should I be able to see the digital fingerprint images online (of coins recently graded through Secure Plus). If this is true, does anybody know the link? I am assuming that PCGS's Secure Plus "Digital Fingerprint" images are a different service than PCGS's "TrueView" images. I think it must be.
