PCGS: "Not a valid cert number"

Anyone ever gotten this message when adding a coin to a registry set?

This is for a St. Gaudens that I've looked up in the past. Now the cert number won't work.

 

That's a little disconcerting when you're looking up a coin you hold in your hands.

Given the propensity of PCGS' varying information sites to go up and down like an ocean buoy in a storm - I can only use PCGS Pops about half the time - it might be worth waiting overnight, rechecking tomorrow, and contacting them if you still get a bad result. I wonder if someone disconnected that cert from their own Registry, and instead of just removing it from the Registry they removed it completely by accident?

 

or it was created.

 

Yeah, I would just call PCGS tomorrow if it's still an issue, and assuming you're confident the coin and slab are legit.

 

Would you mind sharing the number? So we can try it.

 

Works for me on the PCGS cert app

 

Ok I don't know what happened but it worked this morning. Thanks for the replies.

 

As I said, like an ocean buoy in a storm.
