Currently, as in...if I submitted the coins today. The question relates only to the macro image quality, not slab shots/scans.
I've made the poll anonymous in case, for whatever reason, there is any sensitivity with your vote. Of course, any opinions may still be stated in the comment section.
Superb collections are built more by omission than by addition.

I've been very happy with CACG's image quality. High quality and attractive pictures that reflect reality.

+1 for CACG being true to real life in hand.
I like cacg to
CAC without a doubt
I wasn't expecting this to be a landslide, but CACG takes it by a mile.
Well, kudos to them for investing in that part of their business.

PCGS had the undisputed top position, sad to see that squandered away. Of course, GC is consistently good with Phil manning the controls....CACG quite good these days. @FlyingAl blows all of them away.
Yes CACG, PCGS and NGC are not reliable representations of how the coin looks in hand.
What is your “Yes” in answer to?

Ever since Phil left PCGS for GC their photography has been nothing but disappointing…. CACG now has the best photography.

CACG
I'm in favor of CACG photography, could still be improved but out of all the TPGs this would be my choice.
Nice to see you back and posting.
Thanks, just got a little busy and time got away from me.
Anyone have an example of the same coin photographed across all 3 services?
It’s not even close. Other than hating the forum software beta testing, I think this is as close to unanimous as we have come in recent memory.
I have one with NGC and PCGS, but not CACG
I prefer PCGS photography over NGC, but I agree with most here, CACG seemingly does the best, at least for now

That's an NGC slab shot, not their PhotoVision Plus product. Here is an example from NGC's website:

Here's the same coin done by PCGS & Great Collections. (not mine)
I was disappointed in the images I received from CACG. Mine were on the same level if not worse than with post Phil PCGS.
Not even close to the same type of photos, you would need the NGC photovision photos to compare to the PCGS TV, not the standard NGC slab shot.

Oh okay, I had no idea NGC did more than one type of coin photography
