Why Buy PCGS Graded Coins?

PCGS certification removes uncertainty from coin collecting and investing. Each coin is authenticated, professionally graded, and permanently sealed in a tamper-evident slab containing a unique certification number.

Every PCGS holder is backed by the PCGS Guarantee, which covers both authenticity and grade. This gives collectors a level of protection unmatched by raw, ungraded coins.

FAQs

What is PCGS?

PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service) is one of the world’s leading third-party grading companies, specialising in authentication, professional grading, and secure encapsulation of coins.

Are PCGS graded coins worth more?

Generally yes. PCGS-graded coins sell at higher premiums because buyers trust the grade, authenticity, and condition protection. This reduces risk and increases liquidity.

Why choose PCGS over raw coins?

Raw coins can be cleaned, altered, counterfeit or inaccurately described. PCGS eliminates these risks through authentication, strict grading, and tamper-evident encapsulation.

What does the PCGS grade scale mean?

PCGS uses the internationally recognised Sheldon Scale (1–70).

  • MS/PR 70: Perfect coin

  • MS/PR 69: Near-perfect

  • MS 65+ range: Choice quality

    Higher grades command higher premiums and are most desirable.

How do I verify a PCGS certification number?

Every PCGS coin includes a unique cert number printed on the slab. You can confirm authenticity and grade by entering it into the PCGS Cert Verification tool on their website.

Do PCGS coins increase in value?

Market demand varies, but PCGS grading generally supports stronger resale value due to verified grade accuracy and authenticity.

Are your PCGS coins guaranteed genuine?

Yes. All PCGS coins sold by The Coin Chest are exactly as certified by PCGS and include their full authenticity and grade guarantee.
