PCGS Graded

What is the oldest coin anyone has had graded from PCGS. I have a 1200 coin Midievel Armenian, however when I’ve asked the oldest for crossover I get no response other than we don’t.
Thanks for any feedback.

    PCGS, as a general rule, don't do ancients and mediaevals, except within certain narrow series (like English Hammered). Tabaristan, and Sassanian and Arabic coins more generally, don't fall within those narrow series.

    Nothing as old as what is pictured thus far. Off hand, I don’t know…

    Experience the World through Numismatics...it's more than you can imagine.

    It's interesting to note that your coin wasn't minted in Armenia. It was minted in Cilicia in Asia Minor (modern day Turkey). Armenian refugees who served in the Byzantine army rebelled against the Byzantine Empire and seized control of Cilicia, establishing an ethnically Armenian enclave in Asia Minor.

    Unlike US coins, the idea of TPG "crossovers" is a foreign concept to collectors of ancient & medieval coins. After all, ancient/medieval numismatics is more concerned with a coin's overall eye appeal and historical interest rather than chasing numbers on a slab.
