Does PCGS do Restoration without Grading the Coin.

Found this listing on eBay where the seller states he had it restored but not graded.......1893-O Morgan.

I did not know that was a option and was wandering if it's just another Key word spammer at his stuff?

    My understanding, from their brochure, is that grading is automatic with restoration.

    I wonder if it was a gennie after restoration and he cracked it out.

    Would that be "It didn't grade."?

    Looking at the coin, my best guess is it came back in a 92 genuine holder and he cracked it out.
  • From PCGS's website:
    "Restored coins will automatically be graded by PCGS and will be charged the appropriate grading fee associated with the service level for that coin."

    Out of curiosity I messaged the seller of this piece... his response was "I ask for restoration only".
    Can Don or someone else enlighten us about this?

    Something just doesn't look right about the obverse field. Whizzed?

    That would be my guess based on what I can see. Definitely cleaned as the surfaces are totally unoriginal.

    No mention of PCGS anymore it seems. So now at least it's just back to over hype as to a possible but very improbable grade.

    Good Afternoon Everyone,

    If the coin is approved to go through the PCGS Restoration Service, it will also travel through the grading process as well.

    My Best Regards,

    Corbin

    Well, thanks Corbin. That pretty well confirms what most of us likely surmised; the seller here was simply lying.
