PCGS Geniue Surface Damage

Just received the 5 mint errors I sent to PCGS to get graded. Winconsin D min Low Leaf-MS65, Wisconsin D mint Low Leaf MS66, Wisconsion High Leaf MS65, Wisconsin High Leaf MS66 and the Florida quarter. On the front of Florida coin in the PCGS holder it says PCGS Genuine Surface Damage, Florida and the other side it says (GENUINE NOT GRADABLE--Does this mean they were not able to put a MS grade on it like-MS-65, MS66 and etc. Certification number is 20659495. Thanks for looking.

    That's what it means.

    The holder will have one of the codes listed below right after the PCGS coin number. (Where the grade would reside on a gradable coin)

    No Grade Description
    82 Filed Rims
    83 Peeling Lamination
    84 Holed and Plugged
    90 Not Genuine
    91 Questionable Color
    92 Cleaning
    93 Planchet Flaw
    94 Altered Surfaces
    95 Scratch / Rim Dent
    97 Environmental Damage
    98 Damage
    99 PVC Residue

    If you sent them in as mint errors, it most likely means that the Florida quarter may not actually be an error at all, could be post mint damage, or someone did something to it to make it appear to be an error.Was it clipped? If so, might be a fake clip, and so on-------BigE

  • The code number is #98(damage). Does this mean it could of been man made damage.
