ADDITIONAL GUIDELINES AND INFORMATION
GOLD SHIELD: Coin is imaged in high resolution, registered, and checked against PCGS’ vast proprietary imaging database. Includes TrueView™ image and enhanced security with the PCGS Gold Shield icon. NFC anti-counterfeiting technology included in all services levels.
GRADING: For raw coins (not encapsulated).
REGRADE: For a coin previously graded by PCGS you feel might be worthy of a higher grade, submit coin in the holder. The coin will be removed from the PCGS holder and regraded. Grading fees will apply whether the coin upgrades or not. Coins that do upgrade will also be charged a Guarantee Premium based on the value of the coin.
** If the coin grades lower, the terms of the PCGS Guarantee will apply. For full disclosure of the PCGS Guarantee, visit PCGS.com/Guarantee.
CROSSOVER: For a coin previously graded (currently encapsulated) by another grading service. Minimum Grade: PCGS will holder the coin only if it meets or exceeds your specific request notated in the Minimum Grade column on the front of the form.
Grading fees will apply whether the coin crosses or not. Coins that do cross will also be charged a Guarantee Premium based on the value of the coin.*
Please specify one of the options in the Minimum Grade column. If you leave this area blank, PCGS will assume the minimum grade is the grade currently on the holder.
MINIMUM GRADE OPTIONS:
- CURRENT – Requests coin to cross at grade listed on holder.
- ANY – Requests coin to cross at any numerical grade (01-70).
- DETAILS – Requests coin to cross at any numerical grade or Genuine no-grade.
- OTHER GRADE – If you would like to specify a different grade than listed on the holder, write your acceptable numerical grade (include suffix if applicable).
- MINIMUM GRADE – You may (but are not required to) specify a minimum acceptable grade. Coins graded below the minimum acceptable grade will not be holdered; however, the full grading fee will be charged.
Note the following limitations apply:
- You cannot specify a minimum details grade for existing genuine-holdered coins.
- Qualifying First Strike equivalents may be recognized at the discretion of PCGS.
NOTE: Minimum grades are not accepted for regrade or reconsideration service types.
REHOLDER: Re-encapsulation of PCGS-graded coin. Coin will not be regraded. Coins valued over $2,500 require Gold Shield.
RECONSIDERATION: Use the Reconsideration service if you would like to have your coin regraded without being removed from its current PCGS holder. Coins that upgrade will be removed from current holder, given the new grade and/or suffix, and placed in a new holder. Grading fees will apply whether the coin upgrades or not. Coins that do upgrade will also be charged the Guarantee Premium*.
Select one of the four options:
- Upgrade by full numeric grade (default) – If your coin’s grade is determined to improve by one numeric point or more (i.e. – 63 to 64 or 63+ to 64).
- Upgrade by Plus ONLY – If your coin’s grade is determined to improve by a Plus grade (i.e. – 58 to 58+).
- Upgrade by Suffix – If your coin’s designation is determined to improve by suffix even if the coin’s grade does not improve (i.e. – PL to DMPL, CA to DC, BN to RB).
- Any – Will accept options 1, 2 or 3.
*GUARANTEE PREMIUM: Equal to 1% of the value of the coin in its final grade. The value of the coin is determined by the PCGS Price Guide value for that grade or the Declared Value of the coin, if the Price Guide value is not available. The minimum amount for the Guarantee Premium is $10. PCGS reserves the right to make the final determination of the coin’s value.
GUARANTEE RESUBMISSION: If you have a PCGS-graded coin that you feel is overgraded, misattributed, or counterfeit, submit the coin to PCGS through the Guarantee Resubmission Service. A fee of $25 per coin must accompany all submissions through this service (Standard or Gold Shield). If your coin is downgraded, the terms of the PCGS Guarantee will apply and all fees and charges related to the Guarantee Resubmission will be refunded.
** Additional terms and conditions apply. Please visit PCGS.com/Guarantee for more information.
GENUINE SERVICE: All coins submitted are subject to being deemed as Genuine (not gradable). Full grading fees will be charged for either option. Please reference PCGS.com/Grades for examples. Select only one of the two options:
- Genuine with Details (default)
- Do not holder Genuine-only coins.
