How can I get TrueView images for CAC coins?

I've got some PCGS graded coins that have the CAC sticker. I'd like to get TrueView images for these, but I don't want to lose the CAC sticker. Is there a way I can keep the sticker and still get TrueView images?

The cert number stays the same
There is a fee to re sticker the new holder.
There is no reason the image quality can't be as good or better than a True View.

Several forum members here are well recognized for their coin photography and would be a smart (and less costly) alternative to reholdering for a TV and then restickering.

<< <i>I don't mind saying it: use Lance (see post 3). True View can be hit or miss. For instance, your heart might miss a beat because of the crack at 4 o'clock, so you send it to TV and the image is nice but the crack doesn't show. >>
They should send you previews.

1) Send in your coins for re-holdering and TrueViews. Make sure you take a photo of stickered slab first so the sticker people will reapply the sticker when you send it back to them. This option requires lots of time, expense, and shipping.
2) Ask for TrueViews in the holder. They'll do these, and they usually look pretty darn nice.
3) Have someone else photograph the coin in the holder. The guys at PCGS do a phenomenal job, but others do too.

I agree with Lance. You can get images from several folks here on this forum with great quality, no problem.
