Is there anyway to get a trueview on a coin that is already slabbed?

Or will I have to submit it for a reholder as well?

Pretty sure you can submit for TrueView only...I think it's $5 + shipping. But there are photographers on this board that do a very nice job and much more quickly. Hopefully one will post here.

There are several photographers here on the board that can do fabulous work with most coins. However, if you want to send it to PCGS, you can either send it in for a TrueView (reholder or regrade) where it will get cracked from its current holder, or you can send it to PCGS to be shot through its current holder (to retain a rattler or something similar). The shot through the current holder is not an option that is listed on the PCSG site, as far as I know, but if you reach out to customer service they can get you going.

I'm pretty sure that TrueViews are taken before the slab. I recently received an error TrueView (two obverse photos and no reverse photo) on a World coin and PCGS made me return the coin to correct. I think they will crack, photograph, and re-slab with the same PCGS number. Not sure but it makes sense.

Yes, TV's are shot raw, before slabbing. But PCGS will shoot a TV through the slab if it is requested. As @TomB said it is best to call customer service for guidance on how to order it.

This coin is in an OGH, severely under graded and I wanted to keep it that way. I sent it in with a whole bunch of "DO NOT CRACK OUT OF HOLDER" writing on the submission form, just to be clear. PCGS did a great job taking it's picture and following directions. The coin came back in the holder.
If you do this, give the slab a little polish to get rid of any blemishes beforehand.

wonderful wass-mol you got there!
Yes ....
however, I would not recommend this approach .. who wishes to look at an upside down reverse images on their PC ... not me.
And yes ..this is an PCGS Image from one of their offshore PCGS offices. I understand it most likely Europe.
