Regardless of how it came about, it is clearly a positive devopement and very much a benefit to everyone in the hobby. Congratulations PCGS on this one.
This is news I can use! I especially like this part: "Access to this incredibly comprehensive online photographic guide to grading United States Coins will be free as a service to the numismatic community". Very cool.
Fantastic !!!! Thanks to all at PCGS , it appears that they have been taking note of some of the constructive criticism on these threads. Ir wont take care of recent gradeflation and the disappearance of the previous grading set , but it will absolutely set the current standards in stone Thank you HRH
Yep. Kudos to PCGS for doing this and for making a free service to all. As much as we can be critical when a service does something wrong, we should recognize when they do something right.
Nice to see this project finally coming to fruition.
One thing though makes me wonder--the online photos are being done in conjunction with B&M, which has some of the worst online auction photography around. Hopefully this will result in B&M upgrading its abysmal photo work, rather than resulting in poor quality grading set pics.

Actually, it was first suggested in the Q&A forum a couple years ago.
