I just got some coins back from PCGS today, and i tried to enter them into my reg set. I could not enter the numbers because it said they were invalid! Does anyone know how long it takes for the coin numbers to get into PCGS's data base?

thanks

    It usually takes 3-10 days after they are good in validation. If they're not good after a week, email Gayle with numbers and it will get fixed.

    I bought a Kennedy for my proof registry set about 10 days ago from a California Dealer. When I tried to enter it, it came up with " certification number is not a valid PF Dcam number". I had to email a scan of the coin to Gayle and she fixed it up in one day. great service. Thanks Gayle. imageimage

    It's not uncommon to have a number that you can't enter in the registry. Scan the slab and email PCGS a copy - they're quick to fix it.

    I tried to enter a Plat Eagle one time and it wouldn't take. It had an insert registered to a Gold Eagle! Gail said to return for reholdering but gee, $20 postage? I just left it alone and used a different one.
    Change that we can believe in is that change which is 90% silver.

    There seem to be two separate databases: one is accessed with the "Cert Verification" link on the PCGS home page; and the other is used when entering coins into registry sets. Many times, I have not been able to enter a coin into a set, but the "Cert Verification" database has the correct information. An email to PCGS (no scan, no other information except the cert #) has gotten it fixed within a couple days.
