The PCGS Cert Verification mobile app is a useful tool for coin collectors and dealers to verify the authenticity of coins before making a purchase online. The app simplifies the confirmation process by allowing users to scan the bar code or QR code found on the coin label instead of typing in the certification number. With this app, users can access valuable information such as the coin’s denomination, date and mintmark, grade, mintage, holder type, PCGS Population, and PCGS Price Guide value. Additionally, the app may provide supplemental coin information such as a high-resolution image of the coin, the coin’s last auction appearance, and its current presence in any PCGS Set Registry sets.

While the app can help reduce the risk of buying counterfeit coins, it’s important to note that verification of certification numbers on the PCGS Certification Database will not entirely eliminate the risk. Counterfeiters may use counterfeit PCGS grading inserts, so it’s essential to take additional precautions. PCGS encourages coin purchases from verified PCGS Authorized Dealers to further reduce the risk of counterfeit coins.

Overall, the PCGS Cert Verification mobile app is a quick and convenient way to verify the authenticity of coins before making a purchase online. With access to valuable information and the ability to scan bar codes or QR codes, users can make informed decisions and reduce the risk of buying counterfeit coins.

Features of the app include quick on-the-go cert verification, access to the coin’s holder type, PCGS population, Price Guide value, and more.
