Did PCGS stop imaging coins at they are certified?

I used to recall low resolution images just show up in my PCGS registry set but now newly graded coins don't show up at all.

When you look up a coin to verify the certificate number you could see it

With all the concern about fake slabs why would they no add images anymore?

    Secure+ are scanned that is all unless the submitter pays for TrueViews. They do at their own discretion image some others for their own use.

    I don't believe it was ever done for every coin.

    You may be right, I don't know which is why I am asking.

    You are correct.

    The only coins which are automatically imaged are Secure+ submissions and Trueviews (which you pay for) or coins which PCGS wants to use for PCGSCOINFACTS.
    A note on certain variety attributions can usually get the coin photographed for PCGSCOINFACTS but that image never shows up in the Cert Number Verification page. Only Trueviews or Secure+ submissions.
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    Not quite. I have a few coins that were only photographed for coinfacts (I didn't pay for Secure+ or Trueview) that show up in the cert page with image.

    All of my varieties have been imaged lately except for the last submission that I just got back a couple of weeks ago. They were always there with the cert lookup.
