Eligibility & Requirements
Restoration Process
Submitting a coin for PCGS Restoration in no way guarantees the upgrade of your coin. If the coin is already in a PCGS holder, it is guaranteed not to downgrade, nothing more. Through our restoration service, PCGS is committed to preserving and restoring coins to their original and natural condition. There is always a risk of uncovering issues such as hairlines when haze or film is removed. If a coin already holdered by PCGS when submitted for restoration is discovered to need to be downgraded or receive a no-grade decision, PCGS will initiate a guarantee/buy-back.
