Ran across a seller on eBay that has all his True-View's posted as placemats on his dining room table.

Just one of those things that makes you go hmmm?

    They look suitable for framing.

    Definitely unusual.

    I think making people aware they get a trueview would make people more interested in buying a coin. The printed one is a nice touch, but people can resell a coin easier if there is a trueview they know they can use if/when they want to resell the coin or even to show off pictures of their new coin makes it more valuable I would think.

    Never seen that before. A coffee mug or beer mug would look cool with coin pics---the obverse coin pic on one side and the reverse coin pic on the other side.

    It states that the coins come with a color True-View...

    It doesn't mentioning anything about rolling it up and sending it along in a shipping tube.

    Start with a really good picture a buyer can find online, burn through a lot of ink printing it out, then take a really crappy picture of the result. Sounds like a good plan to me.

    I'm going to go out on a limb here, and guess this guy is NOT married.

    8x10's for certain Vams like 8tf reverses and PUP's for quick reference is a no brainer.

    I hunted down a Proof Lincoln that I had graded and sold.

    Guy was using bad images. Alerted him to download the True Views.

    I now check all my newps for a TV and more inclined to purchase because of the images..

    So put me down for it adding value.
