<p>[QUOTE=&quot;CamaroDMD, post: 1208020, member: 5233&quot;]The serial number holds the information that will tell you why the coin did not grade.&nbsp; Look at the serial number.&nbsp; It should look something like this:&nbsp; XXXX.YY/ZZZZZZZZ.&nbsp; The &quot;Y&#039;s&quot; in my example is the PCGS problem code, it&#039;s a 2 digit number just before the slash.&nbsp; Here are the numbers and what they stand for:</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 91 Artificially Colored</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 92 Cleaned</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 93 Planchet (Coin Blank) Flaw</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 94 Altered Surface</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 95 Scratched or Rim Dented</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 97 Environmentally Damaged</p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; 98 Other Damage</p><p><br /></p><p>For example, I have a 1854 $1 gold piece my grandma gave me.&nbsp; I knew it had a problem but I wanted it slabbed anyway.&nbsp; The coin has a slight bend in it.&nbsp; It came back in a Genuine slab (as I expected) with a 98 code.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
