In PCGS Cert Verification why is no image shown like NGC does in Coin Lookup ?

    Strange title for the thread, but to answer your question neither service has photos of every coin when doing a cert lookup/verification. For PCGS if there is a TV it will show, I do not recall when but some years back NGC started to add the low rez photos of the obv and rev slab shots to its database. Most older cert numbers for both firms will have no photos.

    It seems as though new grades as well as reholders at NGC come up with images while no coins I searched at PCGS had images. Later images appear to have better resolution at NGC.
