Unfortunately, NGC rejected the coin, indicating that the certification number wasn't found in the PCGS database. Sure enough, when I entered the certification number myself using the PCGS Certification app it indicates that it is an invalid number.

Last summer I sent them an email about the procedure I should follow getting an 1860 IHC in a second generation green holder properly attributed; the coin is a pointed bust variety but the holder indicates rounded bust.
