Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6448 Posts	Posted 12/25/2023 12:01 am I have Googled this several times with no success. Is there something overt or less obvious on a PCGS slab that lets you know it is imaged in TrueView? An icon, a numerical prefix, something of that nature? Report this Post to the Staff

Ariette Valued Member United States 295 Posts	Posted 12/25/2023 11:51 am To the best of my knowledge, it's not noted anywhere on the slab itself. You have to look up the cert number on PCGS's website to check. Report this Post to the Staff

BStrauss3 Pillar of the Community United States 4587 Posts	Posted 12/25/2023 2:13 pm Nope Trueview and Gold Shield are separate services, but Gold Shield includes a free Trueview. So - absent errors which do occur - a Gold Shield should have a Trueview, but any other coin could also have one if the submitter paid for it. -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff
Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 6448 Posts	Posted 12/25/2023 4:29 pm Wow, that is lame. Given that so few slabs have TrueView, it is terribly tedious to browse ebay and enter every single cert number. Also makes it much harder to buy slabbed coins, because people take such terrible pictures. After seeing all the stained, discolored, and otherwise undesirable coins with MS66-68 grades, I would never "buy the slab". Seems like a real missed opportunity by PCGS marketing. Also by the slab owners themselves. If a coin had TrueView, a smart seller would put that right in the listing. Report this Post to the Staff

I believe both of these are accurate statements. All my PCGS Ikes with a Gold Shield have a Trueview image, but I also have a few with images that are absent the shield so I have to assume the submitter paid for it separately. Quote: it is terribly tedious to browse ebay and enter every single cert number. I always look up the certificate numbers. Even without a Trueview image, I like to make sure the slab has what it says it has.
