That explains why some of my coins lack them.  They were already slabbed when I got them and I simply added them to my loose-leaf album.

 But you raise an interesting question:  if an enslaved coin is cracked out, and sent in raw, and PCGS checks their photo collection archives, however cumbersome, on a hunch and a retired NSA employee working part-time discovers beyond a reasonable doubt that Quintus Arrius -- already a repeat offender with an internal Red Notice has evidently re-submitted a coin authenticated, certified and photographed in the past -- what then?

The free TrueView for Regular service level submissions is a relatively new policy………maybe a year or so. So it’s quite likely your already slabbed PCGS coins won’t have TrueViews. It’s also possible that some of those slabs may have been submitted using the Economy service level, in which case won’t have TrueViews unless they were paid for. You can also check your slabs to see if there is a gold shield on the insert. These will/should have TrueViews attributed to them.  
 

Any coin with a TrueView will keep that TrueView if the coin is sent in for a regrade submission or a Reholder as long as it is still in the holder. If the coin is cracked out and sent in raw the old TrueView will not follow automatically. It might be possible to link the old TrueView with the cracked out coin with a phone call or email to customer service explaining the coin was a crack out and furnishing the old Cert number.. Their database uses the Cert number in checking for TrueViews. I don’t think they are setup for photo recognition.

Been a bit since I added anything.   I have never paid for a PCGS TV photo but a few of my coins have one available.

On Regular submissions TrueViews are free. 

Apparently this is currently owned by Fred Weinberg.

The proof Kennedy on the left in the OP’s photo could be an Accented Hair variety.

The I in LIBERTY of the AH variety is truncated on the left side at the bottom.

Take a close look at yours and see if it is truncated. 
Could you get a photo of the I of that coin and post it?

The I should look like the I in the photo on the right below if it is an Accented Hair. .

I have sold a few MPL’s through Legend. It has been two or three years, but unless they have changed their policy there is no seller’s fee. Seller receives full hammer price. Commissions are received from the buyer. 

It took me 10 minutes to get the set in the bag and another 53 minutes fighting crashes, bad handshakes, timeouts, etc before I finally found success. It was much worse than the Peace dollar experience.

Thank you @Coinbuf I appreciate that. 

Definitely a proof set.

I would like you to review this 1943-S penny,pcgs dated as a 1941..I've send pictures of the coin,proving it's a 1943 copper penny.Cert#40203418

Here is the closeup of the date. I honestly have no idea how one could determine the date was a 1941 or 1943 unless there is another diagnostic visible.

Not sure why. It was hand tilted. Here are some photos showing it tilted and not tilted with close up and with distAnce to show it being tilted.

Bob,

I'm confused. The bottom photo is described as having the coin tilted, but when I copy it and past into Photoshop it is almost perfectly circular. The copy below was color corrected based on the upper right prong being neutral white. Am I reading your comments incorrectly?

Yep, the bottom one, the brown one, is tilted. The top one, the one that is blue, is lying flat on the table. In fact you can see the wood grain under the prongs. 

I’ll just make a short comment on the color of the IHC. With the coin flat and parallel to the  lens the dominant color is blue. Brown can only be seen when the coin is tilted, which I don’t care to do. Below I took a couple of pix with my iPhone. One photo is with the iPhone and coin being parallel to each other. The result is the coin looking blue. The second if with the slab tilted about 30°. The result is the coin looking mostly brown.
