Why don’t PCGS pictures include the grade?

I wish I knew what you were talking about. Hmmmmmm.
I assume he's talking about True Views. A True View image represents a coin associated with a certification number. The grade for a certification number can change if the coin is sent in for re-grading and PCGS agrees. Then they would have to update the True Views. Probably more headache than they want.

I made the assumption as well, but I was also being a smarty-pants. My apologies.
To your point, agreed.
FWIW they do provide grades along with the pictures if you're on the certification page and click on the PCGS "industry number". They are limited photos w/grades, and sometimes it's handy ⇊ Click on one of the TV photos below...

Like anacs did back in the day? That kinda stuffing?
Because they don’t provide any information, no grade, no date, no denomination, just the place where you can find all of it (cert number.) I figure they figure “where would you stop?” The grade isn’t the most important bit of information anyway.
