If the ANA is to endorse a TPG, it should insist that that TPG image all coins exceeding some specified value. IMHO, imaging will play a critical part in the war against the counterfeiters, and the ANA may be in a position to make it happen.
BTW, I'm not a big fan of the ANA endorsing TPGs, but I can easily live with it if it helps beat back the counterfeiters.

Fellas, leave the tight pants to the ladies. If I can count the coins in your pockets you better use them to call a tailor. Stay thirsty my friends......

OK, so is PCGS also imaging all of their coins?
<< <i>Does NGC pay the A.N.A for the right of this endorsement? MJ >>
Yes. PCGS also bid but NGC outbid them.

<< <i>The ANA endorsed TPG, which is NGC, images every coin that is graded regardless of value. >>
Correct. DGS was the first grading service to perform this service. NGC soon copied DGS and PCGS has yet to see the light and join the others.

How often does this happen?
Even "modern crap"? Seriously, why image UHRs? But if they're imaging all of the right stuff, that's great!
