The Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) is the most popular third-party rare coin certification company. PCGS has certified some of the most exclusive gold coins in existence. Since its founding in 1986, through February 1, 2021, PCGS has certified over 42.6 million coins, tokens, and medals with a total market value of over $36.2 billion.

PCGS has set the standard in rare gold coin certification for other coin grading services to emulate, although NGC comes very close.

Investors Demand Consistent Grading

PCGS formed amid clamors from collectors and investors for a reliable method of grading rare gold coins. Before PCGS, grading was inaccurate, inconsistent, and subjective. There was great uncertainty on the part of the buyer as to the actual grade of their purchases. 

With the creation of the Professional Coin Grading Service, investors could finally rest assured that the grade they were paying for was the grade they received. Third-party subjectivity was needed. PCGS standardization delivered this in what was previously considered one of the most lawless investment markets.Each PCGS-certified gold coin comes sonically sealed and encapsulated in tamper-proof plastic with a bar code and serial number. The plastic capsule makes the coin secure and protects it for long-term storage. Investors can also verify the authenticity of a particular coin through their online certification verification process.

Some PCGS Gold Coins Are Marketing Tricks

All PCGS gold coins are not equal. It’s common now a day for savvy and possibly unethically marketers to certify modern-day bullion coins. It’s easy for these examples to achieve high grades because they have just come out of a mint and have never been in the public hands. When a coin is in Brilliant Uncirculated (BU), achieving an MS 69 or MS 70 Grade from PCGS is common. However, there is nothing rare about a coin with a high and current allotment. Thus, the Certified Gold Exchange only recommends investors purchase pre-1933 US coinage and avoid modern-day PCGS coinage.
