Last I knew it was $20 each. If you are sending coin in already in holders, you have to pay the reholder fee, too.

I thought it was $10. $20 is too much. I guess they really are trying to ditch this service.

$20 if raw and added to a grading. $30.00 if holdered and submitted as a reholder and images. There are probaly as many or more man hours involed with this servie as with a grading.

And if you think it is expensive when was the last time you had professional family photos done and what did they cost?

Yes, but I remember not that long ago Trueview photos were only $5. Those were obviously the good days.

My thought is they don't want to do it anymore, but the demand was so high they had to do something, so the raised the price to $10. Then at $10 they were still getting too many, so they went to $20.

I had some done at $5, only of few at $10, and haven't had any done since the last increase to $20. I guess I will just have to be happy with my own work.

I hope to get at least half of my merc collection true viewed eventually, before the price goes up again

A truview is easily worth the money. Good images are sometimes all we have to go by, with precious coins locked up offsite, often.

But I can't imagine spending that much money for a large collection. Learning to photograph is not only a better financial choice. It will teach you a lot about your coins, grading, and improve your visual skills.

Okay, a decent set-up costs something. But not a lot more than many of us spend on a coin, now and then.

Heck I have over $600.00 in camera gear just to sell stuff for .99¢ each on eBay, had two go for that tonight.
Course it did help sell a few for a little more lately.

I suspect they either underestimated the cost of providing the service or they underestimated the demand.

It's what the market will bear, folx. Why charge $5 when you can get $20??

then again, why not?
