  It's on PCGS.com here. 98 stands for damage or metal movement.
  
  This page also answers the question on what grades can receive a + definitively which was discussed here recently.

  I don't think I've even seen code99 used as a coin with (active) PVC won't be slabbed.

  I think that is the code for the no-grade. I haven't see any either in a slab. But it's marked on the flip when they return the coin to you.
