    I really doubt it.

    Is there a reason you ask?

    I am adding recent modern coins to my PCGS type set. Since they are not too difficult to obtain, I would rather have ones with a TrueView. Looking on eBay, they are hard to find (probably because of the extra cost).

    @Russell12 - as a matter of practice I always run the TPG cert number when contemplating a purchase. Doing that, will tell you whether or not a TruView is published for that specific coin. It will also give you another set of pictures to scrutinize before purchasing, and sometimes, the past auction sales history on that coin.

    As mentioned, if you go to the PCGS Cert Verification page and run the cert number through then PCGS will tell you if the coin has a TV and it will show up on the screen.

    I know how to check if a slab has a trueview. What I am looking for is yo know IF a certain series HAS a trueview. For example, if I want to add a Lincoln Shield Cent (2010-date) to my collection, I see dozens of them available but without a trueview. Are there any with a trueview, or should I buy one without.
