A question about CoinFacts/TrueView images and world coins whose serial #'s not in PCGS database

I have a rare coin, it is a dark side coin, that is graded by PCGS but I failed to record its serial #. How do I find out if it has a CoinFacts (or TrueView) image? It is the sole 'Gazzoldo' coin graded by PCGS, a 1/2 Tallero in MS64.
I also have several dark side coins whose serial #'s aren't found when I try to do a lookup. Any idea how that can be? None are older than 2010.
TIA,
EVP

I can't answer your question, but that London monogram silver penny is gorgeous.

Go to PCGS.com/pop, manually find the coin using the country, denomination, and date in the pop reports, open up the value information page for the coin in question (it should look like this: https://www.pcgs.com/Pop/ValueView.aspx?s=203151). If your coin is one of the top three grades with a Trueview, the image will be displayed on this page. Click on the image of your coin to enlarge it, then right-click it to open it in a new tab or download it. In the URL of the link and the name of the download file will be the certification number. You can use that to go to images.pcgs.com/Trueview/[insert certification number here] to download different image sizes, or PCGS.com/cert/[insert certification number here] to verify the cert.

Thanks - it's a far rarer 1/2p.
@Rexford,

Does this mean there is no image?

I should have known that - I have a 1/2P and don't have a penny.

If that's the correct date and everything, then yes, there is no Trueview. However, this doesn't mean there isn't an image. There may be a PCGS scan or a full-slab shot if it was submitted at the Paris location. These would only appear at the PCGS.com/cert/[cert number] link. Any PCGS coins you have should be searchable in the certification number verification (PCGS.com/cert), and any images available for the coin should appear there.

@Rexford - thanks. Yes, it's the correct date, etc.
I guess next time I go to the bank I'll have to remember to record my coin's serial # and enter it into my spreadsheet at home.
