Now that the new TrueView background is officially on the PCGS homepage, I'm wondering if the black background prototype posted by @PCGSPhoto in December is available? Here's the thread:

I prefer the black because I'm still not used to the white background transitioning from gray on the left to white on the right. That and I just generally like black :)

    I think the black really brings out silver and gold coins.

    I prefer the black background.. .makes the coin 'pop' a bit more... the white background tends to 'wash out' the coin a bit. Cheers, RickO

    Black isn’t an option at this time, unfortunately.

    Looks like going to have to do your own background fill color.

    I like the Black background on all coins myself. I use it on all my photo's.

    First thank you for coming here to update us.
    Can you share with us what kind of set up ( camera & lens, lighting ect ) you are using while taking the beautiful Truview pictures? Maybe a photo shot of the true view equipment while taking a photo. Just curious and again sincerely thank you. :)
