Easy and best way to validate

PCGS - coin value guide

You Should have photos of the coin in the holder especially if it is a hand signed coin. (like NGC does)

Your barcode scanner sucks

Couldn’t get the barcode on the label to scan how to manually type in the code and then your app told me my $130 coin was worth $29
It’s a 1 ounce .999 pure silver coin, silver silver spot is $80

PCGS Cert Review

Very useful site when I am bidding on coins at auction and helping me determine the value of coins I am considering. Keep up the good work.

Great info Poor bar code scanning

The info the app gives is great. Extremely useful. But the barcode scanner is not great. There’s no way to focus it on iPhone and it just does scan unless use click scan without barcode then it’s hit or miss on whether the right coin is displayed. If they could just fix the scanner to work on new iPhones it would be a perfect app

FAQ

What does the PCGS Cert Verification app do?

This app allows users to quickly verify the authenticity of PCGS-graded coins and banknotes. It simplifies the confirmation process by enabling scanning of certification barcodes, QR codes, or using NFC technology for instant verification.

What kind of information can I access with this app?

Upon verification, you can access valuable details such as the coin's denomination, date, mintmark, grade, mintage, holder type, PCGS Population, and PCGS Price Guide value. For banknotes, similar supplemental information may be available, including high-resolution images and historical auction data.

Is the app free to use?

Yes, the PCGS Cert Verification app is free to download and use. There are no in-app purchases or subscription fees associated with its core verification functionality.

What if a coin or banknote holder doesn't have a barcode?

If a holder does not have a barcode, the app's scanner has text recognition capabilities. This feature allows you to use the scanner to read the certification number directly from the label, enabling verification even for older holders.

Can this app guarantee I won't buy a counterfeit?

While this app significantly aids in verifying authenticity, it's important to note that it cannot entirely eliminate the risk of counterfeit coins or banknotes. There's a slight possibility that counterfeiters might use fake PCGS grading inserts. PCGS recommends purchasing from verified PCGS Authorized Dealers to further reduce risk.
