<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Stork, post: 3459728, member: 71642&quot;]Is this the one that gets a coin in a PCGS slab, does whatever it is they do to gussie it up, then send it in for &#039;reholdering and imaging&#039; which then gives them the PCGS true view with all the funky colors?&nbsp; As thought the toning was there when the initial grade was given? </p><p><br /></p><p>IIRC there were a bunch of threads about that practice, and PCGS had deactivated some certifications over it.&nbsp; NGC otoh photos all slabs as they pass through and uses those for the cert verification so that in-slab modification stuff wouldn&#039;t get &#039;validated&#039;.</p><p><br /></p><p>edited to add:&nbsp; and please go after the guy for stealing your intellectual property.&nbsp; It is done so much and so many don&#039;t &#039;get&#039; that they don&#039;t own your photos.</p><p><br /></p><p>Vs. when I buy photos (had some coins pro-imaged awhile ago) and specifically to use the photos online.&nbsp; I paid for them, I use them.&nbsp; No different than buying a logo for a small business venture.&nbsp; If one sees a cool image you can&#039;t legally just download it and use it on your sign/business cards/product you sell.&nbsp; You have to pay the owner/artist for it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
