What is the PCGS Coin Quest?

Terms & Conditions

Mandatory Eligibility Information

To be eligible for the Early Find^® special label, submission packages must be clearly marked in black ink on all sides of the shipping package with the term, “EF21.” Boxes and packages without being clearly delineated with “EF21” will not be eligible for special labels or rewards, no exceptions.

Each coin must be listed on the submission form with the correct PCGS Coin Spec number (listed below each of the six coins pictured above). This will ensure each coin receives the correct Early Find^® Designation.

Additionally, the submission form needs to be checked off “Other” in the Service Level Section and notate “EF21”. If not notated, these coins will default to our Modern Service Level of $16 and not qualify for Early Find^® special label or the Set Registry Competition Reward.

Not available in conjunction with any other submission, special or label (i.e. First Strike Flag, other PCGS Special Labels or PCGS Standard Blue).
