Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) has introduced a new coin imaging service. Here's an excerpt from the press release. -Editor
NGC introduced a new “raw” coin high-resolution imaging service on June 1, 2018. This service provides submitters with high-resolution images of their coins before they are encapsulated in NGC holders. These images are
perfect for use in the NGC Registry, on the NGC Chat Boards or in online marketplace listings. The raw coin imaging service is called NGC Photo Vision®, and it replaces NGC’s current service of the same name.
Submitters who select NGC Photo Vision on the NGC Submission Form will receive high-resolution JPG images of the obverse and the reverse of the coin as well as a side-by-side high resolution JPG with the NGC logo and NGC
submission number. The three images will be sent to the email address provided by the submitter.
NGC Photo Vision is $15 per coin. As a special introductory offer, the new NGC Photo Vision will be only $7.50 through September 30, 2018. Submitters can use NGC’s existing submission forms; this discount will be
automatically applied.
“For years, NGC has taken extraordinary photos of coins prior to encapsulation for its marketing and internal image catalog,” said Rick Montgomery, NGC President. “By popular demand, we are now giving our customers the
ability to request this superior service for their own coins.”
There's nothing that bothers me more than the little white tabs that hold a coin in place in a slab showing up in a photo and obscuring part of the coin. Photography prior to slabbing is a must.
Thanks to NGC for making usable coin photos more easily available. -Editor
