If a PCGS coin is upgraded does it keep the same cert number??

I realize it will be in a new holder with a new label; but will the new certification number be the same??

If it was crossed I believe the answer is yes.

No, since the cert number refers to a specific coin with a specific grade. How can a coin that upgrades still be the same coin with the same grade as before?

If it is regraded and reholdered, yes new cert number.

It will keep the same cert number if it is only reholdered.

the first part of the cert number is specific to the grade etc

I'm not sure that if you sent in a rattler holdered coin for reholder that it should keep the same cert number since the most newest holder/insert would not be consistent with cert numbers having 7 digits and infact would cause PCGS unnecessary grief because people would be constantly wanting to know if it's counterfeit or not.

On a reconsideration, it WILL keep the old number, regardless of the outcome.

On a regrade, it WILL NOT, regardless of the outcome.

This is my understanding. I'm not sure of the rationale but this is the way it works.

It has changed over time. They used to keep the same serial number when they went for regrade. Now, I believe it gets a new number. The last batch I sent in they changed them all even if the grade didn't change. Years ago they would keep the old cert even if it changed. I would suggest calling customer service to find out what they do now.

When a coin has originally 7 digit cert number, PCGS will add a zero to the beginningof the cert as a place holder.

Sorry for the poor image, but I am on my phine.

If a PCGS coin is upgraded does it keep the same cert number??
