PCGS and recognizing the Geoffrey Cope pedigree

Has anyone looked into whether PCGS will acknowledge the Cope pedigree in connection with coins from the Cope sale? Seems reasonable and appropriate…

    Why wouldn’t they?

    Shouldn’t be a problem. Just write “Keep Cope Provenance” on the submission would be my recommendation from experience

    I can confirm that PCGS is recognizing the Cope pedigree.

    So my Cope pedigree coins were raw... So my thinking is submit a copy of the Auction Lot tag and list the pedigree on the submission form. Do you think an auction invoice is needed as well? And would there be an additional charge for this?

    I am less concerned about be charged,,, I more concerned that I am doing the submission correctly.

    Submit the catalog description along with the invoice to be sure they accept it as proof.

    I can confirm this works. I've submitted raw and other unattributed coins before with print out of sale catalog pages and was able to get the pedigrees assigned. Caveat should be that PCGS already recognizes said pedigree.

    That's exactly the thing. I crossed over a piece from the "Coinery Collection" and PCGS contacted me saying that "they don't recognize the pedigree." I replied that I didn't care about that at all. IMO there aren't that many pedigrees that matter that much when it comes to British pieces. Cope is one that does.

    Umm, not to be crass but which Cope coins are we talking about?

    On a related note, I have some ex-Norweb and others not designated but possibly could use the catalogue. I was very disappointed regarding the Norweb 1905 shilling that toned seemingly after being sold by Spink and then got clobbered with no designation and a "62" grade probably based on toning.....
    A second point is that once slabbed & if not designated results in loss of provenance as is obvious

    Well, just Love coins, period.
