stev18 Valued Member United States 329 Posts	Posted 03/14/2016 10:46 pm I recently read on here that when a PCGScoin is reholdered, they add a 0 to the beginning of the cert number. If that is true isn't it logical that a coin in s rattler should not have that 0? I was browsing seller edgeweb on the bay and came across 1884 o in s rattler cert number 3003915. On PCGS it comes up with the added 0 but no picture or history. What should I make of this? Report this Post to the Staff

They probably added the 0 on the certificate look up in order to keep the number a standard length. No history just means it hasn't sold in a major auction. and no picture is because they slabbed the coin over 25 years ago but didn't start taking pictures of them until about 8 years ago.

Just like a few still do today. So it's entirely possible that a rattler was reholdered, although I have no idea how long they've been adding the 0. Report this Post to the Staff
