    The bar code scans as legit. Odd. https://www.pcgs.com/cert/49911022

    I haven't received it yet. I purchased on e-bay from a reputable dealer. When I sent the seller a message, he sent me whta he claimed is the certification number.
    Thanks

    (94208.7049911022) Is the number the seller sent me. It matches what jonathanb found.

    Thanks for the help.
    I have sent a message to PCGS. I will let everyone know what they say.

    It's photoshopped out, the pixellation in that area is different.

    Great catch!

    cert 49911022 is in a private registry set, but no photograph is shown in the PCGS database. It has the NFC chip, so it will be easy to verify when it arrives.

    I received the the coin today. Those who guessed the certification number was scrubbed out were correct. The number the seller sent me was correct and all is good.

    Thanks to everyone.

    I wonder what the point was for removing the cert# while keeping the scannable barcode intact

    some people play games and put coins into their registry set when they see it somewhere. It is painful removing a coin from someone's 'set' when you want to use it.

    Only a small percentage of people can read bar codes and know what the numbers mean.
