Someone on another forum posted it and I thought it was awesome and should share.
Just left click and hold your mouse button on the coin and move your mouse to move the coin:

Wouldn't it be great if PCGC could do this with Tru-view pictures?

    Doesn't work for me. I see only an angled view of a coin, and the cursor doesn't do anything when left on any part of the coin.

    You have to click and hold the left mouse button when moving the cursor and
    you can zoom in and out using the scroll wheel on your mouse.

    I think I have just seen the future of coin photography.... Of course, it's worthless if the underlying images don't have good qualities.

    Very cool! image

    Is that done off of video or photographs??

    I'm not sure if it is done with a real picture or computer generated but if you could do it with real pictures it would be great.

    I would imagine it would be time consuming though unless you had a type of imagine machine that could take pictures of the reverse, obverse and the sides in one click like:

    image

    If you had a type of machine where cameras were placed around the coin in focus and you could image the edge and both sides
    with one click you could save a lot of time. The problem would be getting the lighting right. If say you were PCGS and you had one of these
    set up for each denomination. For instance one for half dollars, then every time a half dollar came in you could just click and take a picture.
    Once you had the correct distance set and the coin in focus for that denomination you wouldn't have to adjust the settings and only click and shoot all around each coin quickly.
