A couple weeks ago I was lucky enough to be offered this coin at my LCS. After inspection I couldn’t say yes fast enough. I posted these terrible pictures in the new purchases thread:
Big thumbs up to our hosts for the way this coin FLEW through the grading process. Now PCGS VF 30:

Looks nice. Also looks like Trueview may be over their prolonged illness.
Here are some recent Newfoundland coins purchased off eBay that I had graded. This is an improvement. The color is very accurate except it doesn't capture the blue toning on the 1873. The grades were as usual, i.e., 1-2 grades higher than those of other TPG services.
Not the best TV that I have received, but the most recent.

This was my first thought when I saw it as well. This is the best shot of an original surfaces VF/XFish silver coin I’ve received in quite a while. They nailed it on this one.
Nice coins btw!
My TVs of late have been more on the "i wish there weren't pics" in the cert verification. Bleech.
Sweet coin and those photos look good!
That's a GREAT looking DBH, and the TV looks very nice! Good pickup!!
I like it and the grade looks right too. Just a great, wholesome looking, solid choice VF coin

Most of my TV's came out decent (I just put up 5 coins in a GTG thread) ... and this was one of the others from that submission. Regular show submission, one with Overton attribution, all done in about about 6 weeks total. I really can't complain with that.
This was not as good an image overall. Really too bad to as it has a wonderful color, lovely surfaces and solid luster.
Maybe that can all be interpreted?
As far as images go, I think I'll call this one the cartoon shot.

I was really optimistic after seeing a number of the pictures above that the TV's were improving. Then I got these this morning on a submission-
Happy with the Grades, not so much on the pictures... I could elaborate, I won't-
@marmac
Without seeing your coins inhand, I will risk a statement in favor of the TV's, that has been very lacking since Phil left. I like the looks of the 55 & 78
Very well. Nice coins, all.

@jesbroken - these most recent TV's are better than some I have seen, but still way off of Phil's work. Thanks-
That was a while ago! Cert # starts with 2!

These grades and TVs (separate submission) just came through yesterday. All raw LCS pickups.
No show stoppers here, just good old fashioned wholesome US type. I’ll let each be their own judge on TV quality

Here’s a few that came out pretty well recently.
Polish Denar from the 1140s. This is a tiny coin but with a lot of detail for the time. Graded 64.
1623 PallasTaler, graded 50
1626 Halberstadt Taler, graded 62.
My current "Box of 20"
@Bob13
Agreed! Those pics look fantastic. Great looking dark side stuff 😎
@MEJ7070 Those are some great coins from your latest submission. I especially like the look of the Flying Eagle and the Barber Dime has some very nice color, Also, I have to say that SLQ is a great looking wholesome coin, and should be a FH from what I see.

Thanks! I actually thought that coin had a great shot at FH as well….looking forward to getting it back for inspection under my loupe again to see where I missed the mark. Still holds plenty of appeal for me regardless.
PR69 DCAM
Same submission included several coins that should have been DCAM's including this one, graded PR69 CAM.
Here are a few from my last submission...
And here's the DBH from my Box of 20... the TV doesn't really do the coin justice.

I'm not upset with the PCGS TV's lately, but I do prefer @PhilArnold's photography much better. Just purchased some stuff off of great collections, and the expert photos really help with organization and inventory.

@lkenefic That DBH is terrific!
