I’ll get better images up, but what are your first impressions? Slab appears to not have been tampered with.

The obverse looks kinda odd-off to me... very soft, not much details showing on liberty gown, and elsewhere... I'd have enough concern and would probably pass unless I could have it in hand to get a better look.

Hard to say from pictures provided but things appear to be flat and lacking in details. Could just be the lighting though.

Better shots

Looks real to me.

From those pictures it looks right

looked right in the first set of pics

I appreciate everyone’s input. I looked at it under my loupe and compared it to a few I have. All checks out. The reason I asked was because the cert.# couldn’t be found in the PCGS database. I’m waiting to hear back from customer service who forwarded my scans to the grading department. My local shop owner already assured me that I can exchange it if I’m uncomfortable or if PCGS finds any issues.

Sigma time....

Well...from the mouths of babes.
Must have been a data entry issue. The cert # comes back correct now.

Did that. It passed. I hear those aren’t fool proof though.

Do you have the PCGS app to scan the barcode?

mapleman · January 8, 2020 5:28PM

Only issues I've had were some Franklin's which are mentioned In the sigma manual and strange as it sounds very cold metal.
Glad yours is fine.

I do not. Good idea though. I’ll download it.

tenth oz. AGEs can be tricky with a sigma. I have to use the small probe.

Same here and some others. Haven't had to use the calibration disc for coins so far.
