PCGS holders have certification numbers on the label

which is the number after the / . What does the number before the / mean?

The first number is the coin number (each individual issue has a unique number assigned by PCGS); the second is the cert number...

Example:

3478 is the coin # .65 is the grade and the /12345678 is the serial number.

Dont forget that for proof cameos an 8 is put in front of the coin number - a 9 for deep cameos. There are probably other series that have this type of nomenclature as well.

Are you sure about that? I believe I've seen coin numbers that don't match that for cam dcam

I take it back. Did a quick search and it does seem to be the case.

That's solved!! Now what are the little numbers after the dash on NGC holders ( ie: 12345-007)? Are the first NGC numbers sequential so that # 500,000- is that number of total graded NGC coins up to that one? How about PCGS on those after grade?

Number of coins in a submission, -007 means that is the 7th coin graded from that invoice.

Thanks: I didn't think Lincoln looked like my old movie hero, 007!
