I came across this coin on Heritage, but I when I tried to do a verification on the certification number through the PCGS website, it said PCGS was not able to find the coin in the database. I did the same thing with a few others of this type and the same thing occurred. Does anybody know why? Is it the dollar value of the coin that PCGS stops displaying the coin details?
I finally googled OGH for the acronym meaning. I had been calling them "Original Gangster Holders" for the longest time. The more you know.... ...I've never properly entered a PCGS # and not had it show up. Would contact them for sure.
It is possible that the coin has been resubmitted and is now in a new holder. The label could have been sent back to PCGS, and they would have removed it from their database.
This is uncommon, but not unheard of. The PCGS database periodically updates and sometimes the old cert numbers don't make it to the new system if they aren't in a registry set or otherwise listed in another part of the site. As others have said, a phone call on Monday will clear this up. I would also add that Heritage *should* stand behind the authenticity of the coin/slab, so in this case I wouldn't be afraid to bid.
#8119 is listed here: http://www.pcgscoinfacts.com/Coin/Detail/8119 #8119 reposted. by ACoinJob posted Apr 30, 2017 at 6:43 AM It's the blue one up top. When you go to the site via the link, you get the MS-62 column, and top row. They sometimes make you scramble for it, like the old hunt and peck system of doing things. The thrill of the hunt.
Since this particular coin and auction was from Nov. 2014, the reason it doesn't show up in the PCGS database is probably because it's been re-graded. It will receive a new cert number.
The coin HAS been re-graded. It is now MS63. Closeup of OP's coin Upgraded coin as shown in CoinFacts. The markers under the stars are a perfect match. From Certification page
