Suprised to receive an email with my own coins depicted within.........

.....a PCGS advertisement for the digital coin albums. My toned Silver Eagle set was one of several sets pictured. 15 minutes of fame. Set below in signature line.

The Lincoln's were from Winged Liberty's album.

Thanks, glad I'm not the only nerd that finds them attractive.

Bob, I thought it was, but haven't seen WL on here in a while.

Awesome!!!!

Nice coins, but I have to wonder why they chose to showcase a set that wasn't composed with TrueView photographs?

Very neat, and I do like the albums... just added one to my 1909 set.

But it's really weird looking at coins in an "album" and having the reverses facing up as if the coin is medal turn instead of coin turn...

Maybe you will be entitled to a royalty check.

From a business perspective, I can understand your question. The pics in my set constitute a lot of work on my part, capturing the in hand intensity of the color which TV's don't always do. (diffused lighting)

Cool, congratulations !!! :-)

habaraca

so apparently they did not ask permission to use your pictures....

Kind of presumptuous on PCGS's part??????

Lots of threads here complaining of folks using others pictures/coins to self promote...

Possibly covered in terms of using their registry? I don't recall if there is something in there or not, as they have quite a bit of verbiage, but it is possible that use gives them the right, within certain guidelines. Much as people who pay for the TVs get them and can use them but PCGS retains their rights. In this case the OP would retain rights but the pics could be used?

Nice surprise in the email.
All I got was an invoice for membership renewal.
If I want it on paper, I have to print it out.

Beautiful coin! Awesome photo showing both color and gloss.

i love your silver eagles!

There was a coin of mine depicted on CoinFacts while I still owned it. Never put it in the Registry, just don't play that game. Never asked for it to be TrueViewed. If it is some kind of outstanding top pop PCGS will do that. Never ran across that in the Terms of Membership/Grading. I was not angry; I was actually flattered.

edit to add: Very nice coins, bolivarshagnasty, in that set. I see some old friends in there!

Congratulations....certainly an honor...Cheers, RickO
