The Classic TrueView Thread

Zoins · December 28, 2021 11:25AM

I'm a big fan of the "Classic TrueView" background, and get enjoyment from seeing coins with this background, using the PCGS logo without the center fadeout. I think I like it because the consistent background makes it look more like an actual coin on a tray, than a image backdrop / background.

Post any you like in this thread

Here are some:

1829 Large Cent - N-6 Large Letters
grade: PCGS MS66BN POP 2/0 (1/0 variety) CAC
provenance: Charles Ira Bushnell, Ed Urban, Roy Edgar "Ted" Naftzger, Jr.

1876 $1 Trade Dollar
grade: PCGS MS67 POP 1/0
provenance: Bruce Morelan, "Black Cat"

Great post and coins!

After posting the two images in the OP and looking at years, it seems clear that there are actually two versions of this, one where the background PCGS logo is sharper and darker and one where it's less so.

Very cool!

Yes @Zoins Here are a couple of my TV's that have a less sharp mid section

"1787" Fugio Cent Replica - by Horatio Nelson Rust - PCGS MS63+ POP 29/1/0

This is a gorgeous coin. It seems to have the darker TrueView background.

Very nice coins! Those TrueViews are a generation (or more) later.

Zoins · December 28, 2021 1:29PM

Love the MPL @mach1ne!

We haven't seen enough of these on the forums recently in my mind!

For only $5. It's so worth the

If you're looking for TrueViews with the early generation template here are some of coins I used to own or have since had regraded or reholdered with new TrueViews taken.

That's exactly what I'm looking for Bob! I'm a big fan of the template as somehow I think it makes the coins pop more.

These are gorgeous coins! I especially like the blue 1913 and the 1915!

Thanks for posting them

Thanks, surprisingly there are only 2 graded higher. I had 4 or 5 years back all graded the same and toned.
They sold for stiff money IMO and are still ratty spendy nowadays considering it’s a bullion coin.
I think I have 4 or more in at PCGS various years toned so we shall see soon what they grade at.

I really like TruViews, but honestly never even thought about the background. Did not realize there were changes. I always focus on the coin, be it in a slab, flip, 2x2, or in a TruView..... I know, others like slabs, labels, boxes et al.... I have time for coins and two other hobbies/avocations, only so much time allotted to each. Cheers, RickO

@anablep, outstanding 84-O! And I love the look of your high relief as well.

P0CKETCHANGE · December 29, 2021 6:21PM

Many of these just look like regular TrueViews. Am I missing something?

The intention is to discuss older TrueViews with backgrounds these.

It's interesting that these all happen to be cents!

drddm · December 29, 2021 8:39PM

Also my favorite True View background!

Here’s a 1824 PCGS AU55 with a gold CAC

drddm · December 30, 2021 12:10PM

I found a couple more I own (top two) that still have the old true view background, and a couple (bottom two) I sold awhile back…..

anablep · December 30, 2021 12:16PM

I have some with sorta dark background. Here are a couple:

I am disappointed that apparently I do not have any with @Zoins favorite background. But at least I have the coins to help me overcome my sorrow ...

Awesome coins. At least these backgrounds are tons better than those that had the blue gradient.

jt88 · December 30, 2021 2:59PM

I can't believe I don't have any of that True View (the one with NASDAQ:CLCT).

Zoins · January 17, 2022 11:49PM

Here's one I just picked up and one that I just appreciate.
