Using NGC's Copyrighted Photos?

[Mr. Smith Guesser]

I was wondering if it's okay to use photos of my coins from NGC's certification lookup in journals and posts here on the NGC forum.

 

If I sell a coin, I always use my own photos. But sometimes I don't feel like pulling my camera out, finding the coin, copying it to my laptop, cropping, resizing, etc. just to stick a photo into a post or journal.

 

I know that the photos are copyrighted. But I don't plan to use the photos to sell any coins or profit in any other way other than just to show off my coins. So is using NGC's copyrighted photos in the NGC journals and posts legit? Thanks.

Thanks for the question. Yes, you can post NGC certification verification pictures in an NGC Journal or NGC Chat Boards post.
