I knew NGC and ICG did this. I am surprised PCGS has started to do this too.

    Why would that surprise you?

    I wouldn't have a problem with it either way. But I think this is just a generic BU slab commonly found from telemarketers and wholesalers serving larger non-numismatic customers.

    I don't like that the numerical code before the cert number has 000000.70/
    That .70 on other pcgs slabs represents the numerical grade.
    I think it would be better with .00 or something.

    Alright. It wasn't terrible, just surprising. I wasn't aware PCGS graded coins without a numerical grade.

    Brilliant marketing but I would prefer Flashy Gem on the slab

    Hmmm?
    I thought you were speaking of the, "Last Year of Issue", phrase?
    Haven't seen this on PCGS.

    When I search the PCGS database I get this:

    The PCGS #26631491 is not a valid US coin number.

    Yup, the cert number doesn't check out. Seems odd.

    Thinking about it after you posted, this makes sense since it has no valid pcgs coin # 000000
    Is this the sample slab number also 000000?

    Still don't like the .70

    Maybe it's just a dummy number. Here are two more dollars, now on eBay. No numbers.

    Here's a newer one with a cert number

    I bought these simply for the artist's signatures. Which were hand signed, not lithograph copies. You can not add non-numerical graded coins to your registry, though.

    @jmlanzaf
    Both of those examples have the pcgs coin #
    Whereas the OP has a 000000
    I think the 000000 is why it is not a valid cert #
    But not positive

    I'm making no comment on the OPs coin. It could just be a fake number on the slab. Some people don't like to show the actual slab #.

    Ah, that makes sense and explains the .70
    I just couldn't understand that.
    Thanks

    What exactly is the "this" that they have done?

    Slabbed a coin without a numerical grade? If that's it, then it just means that someone - probably a retailer or marketer - paid them a reduced amount fie this lower level of grading.

    Actually, I am wondering if this is a service that should be more widely available. It would basically be an authentication service. The buyer and seller could determine the grade. If it were cheap enough I think this option would be very popular.

    Well put. I've mentioned this as a suggestion on the sports card side.

    Correct me if I’m wrong but I think that designation has been on slabs for years, PCGS included.

    Love the simplicity of PCGS slab. The 1921 Morgan is very nice too.

    I believe that the SSCA horseman medals were encapsulated without a grade or cert number.
