    That would be one of the old Secure images from their scanner, it's not a TrueView. They switched to the TrueViews with Secure submissions a couple years ago. You should be able to contact them and ask them to fix the image that needs cropping.

    So they used to just do them quick and dirty style like that solely as a function of using them to confirm coin in slab to cert ID?

    Pretty much, except that scan is a special spectrograph scan that can theoretically tell the difference between 2 PR70 silver eagles based upon the coins spectrograph scan.

    Interesting... I had not seen that type of scan before... Thanks for the explanation... Cheers, RickO

    that's not the special scan, that is (was?) the picture machine.

    if you wind up buying that, simply call cust. serv. and let them know to recrop the obv on it and repost to the cert page.
