One of our goals at NGC is to reduce the likelihood
of coin buyers being sold problem coins. By restricting
our certification service to only those coins
that meet market standards of desirability, we
hope that both dealers and collectors trading
in NGC-certified coins will develop more discriminating
tastes and will come to a greater understanding
of what conditions can lead to NGC giving a "No
Grade" designation.
Click on the image to the left to read our 'Understanding
"No Grade" Coins booklet which explains
with words and pictures why certain coins are
returned by NGC uncertified as "No Grades".
This will help you better understand which coins
to avoid submitting and will provide possible
remedies for some types of problem coins.
