First time this has happened to me

Got a notice for a coin to be removed from my set to be added to someone else’s? I typically don’t sell my coins so my sets never change. How does this happen? Used the tool to let PCGS know it is still in my set. Is this all I need to do or do I need to monitor my set? Thanks in advance

    I'm like you in that I typically don't sell my coins.   I've had this happen four times.  In talking to the CS rep at PCGS I was told more than likely someone had made an error when entering a cert number.  They actually had me send them a dated  ( obverse only ) picture.  Never heard any more about it.  As far as monitoring your set, I would keep the cert, date & mm.  Unless PCGS removes the coin from your set, nobody can enter it into theirs.

    I have had this happen to me due to the fact that the NFC chip did not match with the printed cert#.
    I used the phone app to install the coin and never looked at the printed label cert# so when the other party entered their cert#, it said that the coin was in my registry, so they made a request to remove it from my inventory.
    I do not sell coins, so I knew something was wrong and when I checked the NFC code against the
    listed cert#, it was off by 1 digit.
    I sent the coin back to PCGS and they fixed the issue.
    I got a free TrueView of the coin for my troubles.
    I assume that the other "owner" had to do the same thing.
    This was back in Paulina's day.
    I now routinely check the NFC cert# verses the listed cert#.

    I also had a request to remove the same coin from my set on 3 different occasions.
    I kept denying the request.
    Eventually PCGS contacted me to provide the pictures and etc. to prove that I still owned the coin.
    Emilio called me later down the road to tell me that all was fixed as the requester kept typing in the wrong number.

    I cause this issue sometimes for people...

    "Some" sellers on eBay will use a generic picture but don't explicitly tell you that so I assume that I'm bidding on a coin in the picture...

    To be fair to the sellers, any PR69DCAM/PR70DCAM really doesn't need a detailed picture. You know what you'll get...
