Share a new TrueView that posted within the last 30 days

To clarify, that’s a rolling 30 days from whatever today is—for ex., if today is 8/31/25, share a new TrueView that posted in August. If today is 12/31/25, share one that posted in December. Please stick within the window.

In most cases, that means you are the submitter since you’re the only one who knows when the photos post to your PCGS account, although I supposed there could be occasional exceptions for well-known rarities and the like.

The idea is to give the forum a sense of how TrueView quality is changing over time. Are photos improving, getting worse, or staying the same? Plus, it’s a thread to see some coins that might not otherwise be posted.

Nothing is as expensive as free money.

    I was excited when I opened my PCGS app to see that I had my first show sub images pop, and was going to start this thread off with a bang.

    But alas, they’re far too awful to show publicly.

    1895 B British Trade Dollar- First year of issue

    Very cool coin!

    This one of mine just posted recently. It's graded AU58, but the picture is a little flat looking. I'll get better pics sometime.

    1795 Guinea

    1720/18 George I Crown

    The thirty days is about to expire on these two but I think they are worth sharing for afew reasons:

    The 1795 Guinea has attractive surfaces with nice color.

    The 1720/18 Crown is the fourth one graded by our host. This one is tied as a Top Pop at PCGS. This has decent lustre especially on the reverse,

    I have intentionally posted the larger single image so one can have the best possible look at the coin.

    This Lincoln came from a bank wrapped 1969-D roll, an upgrade to my 1969 year set. MS67RD, the rest of the roll is 65-66. PCGS took less than a month to grade it and get it back to me about 10 days ago.

    A little improved lately, but often still too yellow and highlights are blown. Very simple to understand this, and fix it. They seem to lack either the expertise or will to do so.

    I’m pretty sure they have automated the process, so most likely no one is actually making manual adjustments. But they probably are looking at the quality by examine a cross section of Trueviews and tweaking the automation to make subtle improvements to the automatic process. That’s what this looks like to me, and also explains to me why Phil moved on.

    In my industry, where I’m V.P. of R&D at a company manufacturing softgel dietary supplements, true craftsmanship has/is being phased out in place of more and more automation to make the products cheaper and faster to develop and produce. I’m trying to help them at my work by simplifying how I develop new products to the point it works as an algorithm, so at least some quality becomes permanently embedded so my craftsmanship becomes a ghost in the machine. I already made the algorithm that automatically develops prototype formulas, and I’m going to work with the computer people to embed it into an app

    Great points, although I have to think Phil had automation built into his process as well, simply as a byproduct of necessity given the volume of coins. That raises questions about the quality and ongoing monitoring of the automation(s) in place. I bought a 19th century proof seated coin recently, and I’m afraid to submit it for reholdering.

    I think whoever controls/develops the automation makes a big difference with the eventual quality of the outcome. That, and the new Technology involved with AI are important.

    I gave up on TVs a while back and am enjoying the lighter invoices and my own images. WTH happened to meltdown?

    My image vs theirs but closer to 9 mos. ago when I made the executive decision.
