Alternate TrueView Images?

Putting this here so I dont hijack another thread

For ex., here are two TrueViews of the same coin taken during the same submission:

Does PCGS have the alternate images for coins available for download the same way they do for the primary one?

Philately will get you nowhere....

    Phil used to be able to help with that sometimes. I had this recent true view that I was not very pleased with, and I don't believe it to be Phil's work...but when I contacted him he wasn't able to find any alternate shots for it. Others have had success doing just that in the past, but I suspect that this type of exceptional service is unlikely to occur without Phil there. Hopefully, I'm wrong. I plan to have this coin shot by @FlyingAl at FUN to satisfy my desire for a good photo.

    Contact the photo department. They normally have several images of each side available to pick from.

    I have a double struck Lincoln that was struck on edge during the second strike. Although I asked in my submission to photograph the edge so the partial obverse and reverse would show, they were able to put it in a holder that allows the edges to be seen. If there is a way to have PCGS photograph the edge, I would send it to them again!
