Last week we were discussing PCGS cert #'s and their meanings.....

This was the crux of it:

0 - If 0 is the first of an eight digit number, the coin has been reholdered.

5 - If 5 is the first of an eight digit number, the coin was graded at a show.

7 - If 7 is the first of an eight digit number, the coin was part of a bulk order.

Now for the next question- What does it mean when "9" is the first of an eight digit number?

    The coin was graded in a telephone booth ! all public telephones have phone numbers starting with the number 9.

    A lot of mine start with a "2".

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    cert numbers that start with 500 or 501 are show graded coins.

    so it is safe to say those are likely the toughest with no upgrade yada yada?

    - If 0 is the first of an eight digit number, the coin has been reholdered. I don't recall this on my reholdered coins. For early PCGS coins with 7 digits, they add a zero when reholdered(?)

    5 - If 5 is the first of an eight digit number, the coin was graded at a show. As Jason said, those that begin with 500 or 501.

    7 - If 7 is the first of an eight digit number, the coin was part of a bulk order. I've seen bulk orders thta begin with 7, but not sure if all that begin with 7 are bulk orders.u

    This was was posted by various forum members. I can't find the original thread. Maybe I'll put it in the Q&A for tonight.

    There are also 8 digit submission numbers beginning with 3, 4, 6, and 9. I've gotten those in addition to 2's on my submissions.
