keevan New Member 20 Posts	Posted 08/02/2021 2:13 pm I made a purchase of a coin recently with a slab saying "PCI Certified Capsule Coin Grading Service" with a 9 digit number and a barcode on it. As far as I've been able to determine, PCI went bankrupt several times and their websites are dead. Is there a way to lookup this 9 digit number/barcode anywhere online?

chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 08/02/2021 4:48 pm PCI is now DGS (Dominion Grading Service). If the same 9 digit number applies I don't know but it's a place to start. Check out my counterstamped Lincoln Cent collection: http://goccf.com/t/303507 Report this Post to the Staff

No, Dominion closed down years ago, the company has been sold at least twice since then and with the first sale it went back to being PCI. Report this Post to the Staff

I had several friends that worked for them as graders and a couple that were attribution specialists, for awhile they even had some signed variety slabs, I always thought for the most part PCI got it right as to grading (at least in the classic coinage) not so sure in the modern aged stuff. Their attributions were usually really good also. But nope - no way to look up the certification that I know, nor was there any way in the past even when they were around.
