Does PCGS place GSA pedigree on their holders of GSA Morgan’s that are not from Carson City?

Coconut

I just got back my submission from PCGS and found that they did not place the GSA pedigree on the holder of the 1900-O GSA Morgan dollar that I sent them. It was sent in the original GSA package, which was returned with the coin. I even marked on the invoice that it was a GSA and when they take the Morgan out, if they can send the package back with the coin. What should I do? Should I send it back?Does PCGS place GSA pedigree on their holders of GSA Morgan’s that are not from Carson City? It's probably with more with the GSA on the holder if I sell it.

They do put GSA on the holder. Contact customer service and they will probably tell you to send it back and they will change the label.

Send it back to them...Yes, it has more value if the pedigree is on there.....

Was it a hard pack or soft pack GSA holder?

Why would you take a coin like that out of the GSA holder????

Not that the 1900-O is a rare date, but they are worth a lot more in the original packaging, irregardelss of what PCGS puts on the holder.

The higher the grade, the bigger the premium.

It was a soft pack, I thought since I bought on Ebay for $20 with free shipping. Since PCGS graded coins were commanding a higher price on the auctions, I tought that I would send it to them for grading and resell it on Ebay with the rest of the original package. It's not easy to find certified GSA regular Morgan for sale......

My friend showed me a regular GSA Morgan graded by PCGS today, it was in a soft pack and he sent it in for grading. So they do place the pedigree on there, they probably made a mistake. Call customer service and send it back...

Coconut, please tell me that you didn't crack out a 1900-O in a GSA hardpack to put it in a PCGS holder.

If it was in a GSA hardpack, it was worth something on the order of $1500.

Hope you got a REALLY high grade on that piece.

Edited to add: I see that you posted it was in a softpack. I feel better.

Foodude,

I've actually heard even stranger stories.

I spoke to customer service today and found out that PCGS does not place the GSA pedigree on its holders if the GSA is a soft pack. They will only place GSA on the holder from the hard case GSA's. I glad I didn't pay too much for this coin and didn't send the rest of the soft packs for grading. Just more coins to list on Ebay.....
