  As of a month ago, when I asked this, the answer was no. The black background is not one that PCGS does but rather is what some members have created.
  You would need to take the PCGS Trueview image and then copy/paste the coin images into that template.

  I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

  Here's how to do it with Photoshop.
  
  1. Drop some guides at the edges of the coin and draw circular marquees around both sides to select the coins.
  
  
  2. Select everything but the coins (i.e., the background) by pressing Shift-Ctrl-I, then invert the background by pressing Ctrl-I.
  
  
  3. Fix the color of the PCGS logo by adjusting the hue. Ctrl-U (or Image->Adjustments->Hue/Saturation), then set the hue adjustment for 180°.

  Not my coin, but it is nice. I just grabbed the first TrueView picture I could find on the forum so I could show how to do it.

  I wonder if PCGS is ok with people doing this? Seems like it would be their copyrighted template that is manipulated.
