I'm fortunate to be the new caretaker of this 1915 PR66BN. What's your thoughts on the PCGS TV?

I've decided to let the TV stay as is due to its quality. I have a pretty nice GC pic to compensate and will find someone in the future to photograph this and other coins that haven't been photographed. Here is the TV for cert # 25385619

Here is the GC pic for same coin:
The GC pic is representative of the coin in hand.

That looks like one of the old thumbnail photos for Secure Plus. Those were for internal use. There is probably a TrueView of it somewhere in the archives. Only Phil could probably have found it.
Very nice 1915. Tough date.

tramp - contact the photo department. what they threw up isn't even a completes tv image (background)
the tv dept often has more than one set
First, awesome coin. Congrats.
As the other responses noted, that’s not a TrueView, but an old low-res photo that I believe was the predecessor of the TV service.
The GC photo is great, so I’d use that to represent the coin as needed.
Nothing is as expensive as free money.
Yep, as Bob said that is one of the old sniffer images.
The GreatPhoto will be hard to beat, I’d use that one for your needs.
Thank you! Good to know that this may be just an error. I'll see if customer care will transfer me to the photo/TV dept. Customer care email pretty much said I needed to resubmit for new TV since I wasn't the original submitter.
@P0CKETCHANGE total agree for the interim.

One of the harder MPL years to get with nice color. Good looking coin. Welcome to the MPL posse!

Nice Coin. The GC photos are obviously better.
Sometimes, it’s better to be LUCKY than good. 🍀 🍺👍

That looks like a FakeView.
Great looking coin BTW.
I know from experience that copper is a <#####> to shoot, but that old shot is terrible!
Don’t know much about the first picture posted, but the GC is a great representative of your coin, which by the way is spectacular. Congrats. Zack. And I can’t wait until I purchase my first early proof Lincoln cent.
Well, I couldn't get past customer care. Customer care does not allow or transfer calls to any other department like imaging, etc to discuss issues. However, Customer care did forwarded the issue to the imaging department for review. The end result is that PCGS removed the hideous so called TV. They also stated that I would need to resubmit the coin for imaging, reholdering, along with their associated costs plus shipping costs. Not sure why reholdering was mentioned. PCGS said they don't know how an image was uploaded for the coin since the original submitter never paid for imaging, so they say.
Maybe I'll use my retirement time to learn how to image my own coins.
The matter is closed for me.
Thank you all for your suggestions.

Sounds like most of my experiences. Usually ends up worse.
I don't know how with the workload but Phil does great with the GC photos.
Someone might do a tad better with time but those images are going to be hard to beat.
Great coin by the way!!
