My PCGS TrueView Coins

OkieNumismatic · January 20, 2020 1:45PM

So I absolutely love the TrueView offered by PCGS. So much so, in the coins I have been purchasing I have tried to make sure I find nice examples within my budget that are Gold Shield holders. So far these are the coins I have with TrueView and I will be adding many more this year!!

Forgot to add this one as well.

I 100% agree. I will not buy a coin without a trueview. I have never regretted a coin purchase when I was able to see the TV image before making a the buy decision.

I wish that TV's were standard for every PCGS graded coin. Here are some of my favorites:

@Pedzola that peace dollar! That's nicer than many of the 66's I've been looking at.

@OkieNumismatic love the 1909 V.D.B. with the blue-toned woodgrain effect. here's mine:

TrueViews have been one of the most exciting parts about getting back into this hobby after a multi-year hiatus. They absolutely influence my purchasing decisions. While I am not restricting myself to coins that have it (I'm pretty picky to begin with), I will be sending all of my non-TrueView coins for reholdering/photography as the final step of "completion" for the registry type set I'm working on.

I like TV’s too, but a lot of nice coins don’t have them and I cannot overlook all of the coins that just don’t have them.

Thank you! Lincoln Wheat Cents are what got me into collecting and I will always be a sucker for a nice one!

That's just unfortunate as you will pass by a lot of really nice coins that may never be Trueviewed.

PS: Not one of my core coins is Trueviewed, they were all slabbed prior to that service. Not going to reslab just for a pic.

I will not pass up a nice coin if it does not have a TV. However, I will TRY to find a coin that appeals to my eye that has TV. If a better coin is in my budget and does not have TV I will stick get it. My 1909-S and 1931-D Lincoln Cents do not have TV. Nor do the raw coins I have either obviously. Lol

High end and professional, I wonder how they make all the images look attractive.

TV's are nice but any good professional coin photographer can do as well or better, these were done by Mark Goodman and are as good as any TV I've seen. I'm not knocking the service just saying that there is no reason to pass on a coin just because of no TV.
