Thank you Phil Arnold and the entire PCGS TrueView group for the incredible photography!
These beautiful photos were generated this week.

This is an alternate obverse shot of a 1909 Matte Proof Lincoln (PCGS PR65RB),
which does a great job capturing the gloss.

The TrueView is beautiful, and used a lighting angle that brought out a bit more of the color and detail on the obverse.

This next one is a new 1967 SMS Lincoln (PCGS SP67RB) (recently crossed from NGC).

This is an alternate obverse shot showing a bit more of the popped color, note the electric blues in the field from 8 to 10 o'clock.

The TrueView is incredible, and used a slightly different lighting angle that helped bring out the detail and gloss on the obverse.

SMS Lincolns just don't come much better than this. The gloss and mirror on this rivals a lot of Proofs I've seen.

    Another really fantastic image I got back from PCGS TrueView this week.

    This is a Mint State Lincoln Cent (PCGS MS64BN) with almost MatteProofLincoln-like color and toning.
    Definitely a circulation strike though.

    This is about as eye-appealing and beautiful as MS64BN Lincoln's come.

    Very nice imaging, which it should be, coming from a professional numismatic photographer. Ever consider getting into coin photography and shooting stuff yourself?

    Artistry? Ok. Reality? I wonder.

    I have and continue to be impressed with Phil's work. It is a no brainer to check the TrueView box everytime I send in coins to PCGS.

    Very nice color!
