How to Package Coins for Submission

Preparing Coins for Submission

  • Place raw coins up to 40.6 mm in diameter in 63.5 x 63.5 mm non-PVC plastic flips. Use larger flips for larger coins. Coins should insert easily into a flip. Placing a coin into a flip that is too small may result in damage to the coin.
  • Remove all plastic sleeves or any other packaging before placing a coin in a flip.
  • Place only one coin in each flip and fold the other half of the flip. Label each flip with the submission number and the coin line number (e.g. 1234567-001).
  • Do not cut, tape, staple or glue flips as they can damage the coins.
  • Bulk submissions do not need to be submitted in non-PVC plastic flips. These may be submitted in original rolls or other packaging.
  • Coins 4.5 to 9 mm thick (and have a diameter of 45 mm or less) require a Double Thick Holder. Submit coins requiring Double Thick Holders on a separate submission form.
  • Any coin over 45 mm in diameter or over 9 mm in thickness requires an NGC Oversize Holder. Oversize coins must be submitted on a separate submission form.

NGC Holder Types and Requirements

  • There are three types of NGC holders.
  • Submit coins for each holder type on a separate submission form (e.g. Do not mix coins for NGC Standard Holders with coins for NGC Double Thick Holders on the same submission form).
