Twenty-eight of the top 30 highest auction prices realized for coins sold at auction during the course of 2024 were achieved with coins certified by Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS). It continues a longtime trend of success at PCGS, which is nearing its 40th year in operation.

“We’re proud of these results not just because of the incredible sums our coins have fetched at auction but also their market dominance,” said PCGS President Stephanie Sabin. “PCGS-graded coins have consistently represented the biggest share of the top-hammering coins for years now, and we saw that again in 2024. It goes to show the incredible trust that collectors and dealers alike place in our company and services, and it underscores the fact that the best coins always end up in PCGS holders.”
