A reputable appearing dealer on EBay has a Flying Eagle cent with #60082835 that does not come up on PCGS Cert Verification:

Seems like a good looking newer slab.
Lookup problem or bad holder?

    The holder and coin look OK. You might want to let the seller know about it.

    That is odd.

    This happens now and then. PCGS will have to fix it in their database.

    Just checked our internal system (DLRC), we bought the coin from a very reputable dealer and it seems to be an error on PCGS's side.

    I have a perfectly genuine PCGS graded peace dollar that doesn't show up when you look up its cert. I guess they forgot to enter it in their system or they lost the number when they were doing something to their database.

    The seller is making a nice profit also.

    If you are interested in getting it corrected, @PCGS_Hy recently posted some instructions about label issues.

    How do you know when the seller bought the coin, whom he acquired it from and what he paid for it? Oh, and how do you know what he’s going to get for it?😉

    The previous sale and the current offering are both posted on the thread. I suppose one could do quick subtraction to find out how much Coins3675 defines "nice profit."

    I saw the previous linked sale. But how do you know that the current seller was the buyer from DLRC and that the coin didn’t change hands one or more times after that?
