<p>[QUOTE="Blissskr, post: 2834488, member: 34882"]So I have this coin 1925 Peace dollar gen 1.2 holder with some nice peach colored toning (my pictures don't really show it at all). I was going through coins on my desk and decided to recheck the cert which I know was previously valid and was surprised that it now comes up as a completely different coin. While this may have indicated that I was dealing with a fraud slab/coin, etc. I knew for a fact this coin was 100% valid PCGS slabbed. So I called PCGS customer service to inquire and the rep revealed this gem to me 'that all 5 million series certifications are no longer valid' and I'd have to send the coin back into them to be re-holdered and issued a new certificate # and updated slab. Kind of crazy how a company can just void out and reissue all those prior certification #'s and then require the coin be recerted. Now she did state they'd send me a prepaid label to do so but I thought it was kind of messed up. So if you have any coins that have a 5XXXXXX cert # check them via <a href="https://www.pcgs.com/cert/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.pcgs.com/cert/" rel="nofollow">https://www.pcgs.com/cert/</a> and see if they too have had another coin assigned that cert # now that PCGS uses 8 digit cert numbers. Was anyone else aware of this and perhaps I just missed it or is it new to others as well?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]668910[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]668911[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>*Note that I didn't add the proceeding 0 to the cert number there system does that automatically.</p><p>[ATTACH=full]668912[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
