NGC Services & Fees

Use this service to receive either the EARLY RELEASES or FIRST RELEASES designation for qualifying coins. Select only one. Visit NGCcoin.uk/cutoffdates for a list of eligible coins and submission cutoff dates.

Use this service to request a special NGC label. For a list of special NGC labels, visit NGCcoin.uk/labels. Note: If you would like to have different special labels for the coins listed on the form, write “MIXED” on the Special Label line in Section 13 and list the desired special label name and # on each line next to the coin in Section 17.

Upon request, NGC examines coins for recognized varieties and assigns an appropriate attribution. Also choose a grading tier according to coin value and desired turnaround. If you would like a coin already graded by NGC to be reviewed for a variety, do not select a grading tier. See NGCcoin.uk/varietyplus for a complete list of varieties we recognize. The VarietyPlus fee applies when requested regardless of whether NGC determines the coin to be a recognized variety.

NGC examines mint errors and assigns an appropriate description. Also choose a grading tier according to coin value and desired turnaround. The Mint Error fee applies when requested regardless of whether NGC determines the coin to be a recognized mint error.

Coins over 45 mm in diameter or 9 mm in thickness are placed in an NGC Oversize Holder. Must be submitted on a separate submission form.

High relief coins that do not fit in NGC’s standard holder will be placed in an NGC Thick Holder. There are two NGC Thick Holder sizes: one for coins up to 7 mm in thickness and one for coins up to 9 mm in thickness. The default is the 7 mm holder.

Upgrade to a Scratch-Resistant NGC Holder coated with the same material used to protect the delicate surfaces of eyeglass lenses.

A pedigree can be added to the certification label to indicate a coin’s past or present ownership. NGC must receive sufficient evidence to confirm the requested pedigree. Examples of evidence include photographic records from an auction catalog or a sealed flip / holder from the original collection or auction house. Recognition of pedigrees is at NGC’s sole discretion; the Pedigree fee applies when requested regardless of whether NGC determines the coin to have a recognized pedigree. To add a pedigree to a coin already encapsulated in an NGC holder, also select an applicable NGC ReHolder service. See NGCcoin.uk/Pedigrees for complete information.

If you disagree with a grade assigned by NGC, you may submit the coin for review for a higher grade. The coin must be intact in its NGC holder. Choose a grading tier according to the coin’s value and the tier requirements. Coins are graded according to NGC’s grading standards, and a higher grade is not guaranteed. Fees are not refunded if a higher grade is not received. A coin submitted for ReGrade will be removed from its NGC holder by NGC staff and encapsulated with a new NGC holder, label and certification number, even if the grade does not change. A coin submitted under ReGrade is guaranteed to not receive a lower grade.

Review of PCGS-holdered coins for NGC certification. Coins will be removed from their holders and encapsulated by NGC only if NGC determines that the coins will receive an NGC grade that is the same grade or higher than the grade assigned by PCGS. If you would like your PCGS-holdered coin certified by NGC even if NGC determines that it will receive a lower numeric grade, specify ANY in the CrossOver Minimum Grade column of the NGC Submission Form. If you would like your PCGS-holdered coin certified by NGC even if NGC determines that it will receive an NGC Details grade (or a lower numeric grade), specify DETAILS in the CrossOver Minimum Grade column of the NGC Submission Form. You may not request a minimum grade that is higher than the grade that is on the PCGS holder. Coins holdered by other grading services are not eligible for CrossOver and must be removed from their holders and submitted raw (not holdered), or they may be submitted in their holders if they are accompanied by NGC's Consent to Remove Coin(s) from Holder(s) Form. For more information about CrossOver, click here.

All US or world tokens and medals struck 1990 to present, both private and official, can be submitted under Modern tier or higher. US or world tokens struck before 1990, both private and official, must go under Economy tier or higher. Esoteric pieces, particularly those submitted without documentation, may not be encapsulated and instead returned as Ineligible Type. See NGCcoin.uk/tokens for a complete list of accepted US and world types.

Metallurgic analysis is available for all pattern, essai, trial and mint error coins, tokens and medals. Not available for on-site services.
