Submitting foreign coins to PCGS

I'm probably overlooking something very obvious, but where are the instructions for submitting foreign (non-US) coins to PCGS? I've submitted many US coins and the process is well described and straight forward. I can't find anything at all on submitting foreign coins. For example, do I use the same submission form? Is there a coin lookup database? Thanks in advance.

    Ive only ever submitted in the US through a friend so sorry I cant help but this is the link to PCGS Europe submission form showing one example:

    http://www.pcgseurope.com/SubmissionForm/Paris/EnglishForm.pdf

    Is it the same?

    It's the same form as US, the old one form fits all. I have submitted hundreds if not thousands of foreign and have never used a PCGS coin number. Just make sure the coin is described correctly, i.e. country, date, mintmark, etc and you will not have a problem.

    Great, thanks!
  • As stated, PCGS doesn't distinguish on the forms between US and non-US. However, for all pre-1955 non-US coins, you must select Secure Plus on the form.

    Thanks, and yes I saw that. Makes me think a little harder about which coins I am submitting.

    You could also use this only form: https://www.pcgs.com/onlinesubmission/

    It will auto fill some of the info for you. Be careful that you select the correct strike: MS vs PL vs PR vs DC and RD vs RB vs BN.

    edit to add: there is a 50 line limit to the online form

    After looking around a little more, it is possible to look up the PCGS coin number for world coins. Try checking the pop reports for world coins, you can find the coin number associated with each coin, listed by country then type. Thought I'd post this for future reference.
