reholder coins old numbers ??

snake

When older holder coins are sent back to PCGS for reholdering for whatever reason.In my case one was 180 in the holder the other 2 I forget ,what. One I ask for an upgrade.These were sent through another person and came back in new holder with new numbers. The problem is when I run both numbers (Old Number& New Number) thru PCGS they are both active. In other words I have 2 numbers for each coin.Three questions 1. Does this not foul the POPs 2. Were the coins switch 3. What does PCGS do with the old number ? Thanks for whatever help you may be.Snake

It's probably in the queue to be removed later. I've heard of this happening before and by the next month it is fixed. Has it been going on for longer than a month? Might need to contact PCGS about it. Of course, as a programmer my instinct says their system should be more dynamic and real time than this...

When they reholder they should come back with the same number. Since you submitted through another person they probably didn't send them in on different invoices (If I remeber correctly you can't mix service types on the same invoice.) and the whole group he sent in were processed as a regular grading submission. In that case you would get a new number but they should have pulled the old number in that case. As to your questions 1 Yes it messes up the pops but they are messed up anyway. 2 No they probably were not switched. 3 the old number should have been eliminated from the database but wasn't so now it's just going to float in there forever.

I would like to expand a portion of this query alittle. If you submit a coin in an older PCGS holder that has obviously been undergraded by more than 1 tier (i.e. MS62 should really be a 65 let's say), would PCGS be hesitant to grade to that higher tier because they don't want to "look bad" with regards to severely undergrading the suspect coin in the first place?

If you have an obvious undergrade in that magnitude, would it be better to remove all possibilities of a recieving a "biased" grading by cracking the original holder and submitting it "raw"?

Thanks,
