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.
