NGC's grading fees are generally based on a coin's fair market value and the submitter's desired turnaround time. For a comprehensive list of all NGC grading tiers, service tiers, fees and requirements, click here.

NGC uses the submitter's declared value to insure the coin while it is in its care. The coin's value also determines the NGC grading tier. Since NGC guarantees the authenticity and grade of coins that it certifies, it charges a higher fee for more valuable coins. For more information, read the Declared Value Policy.

NGC does not value or appraise coins, but it does provide several price guides on its website to help collectors find their coin's value.

You can also research auction records in the NGC US Auction Central and NGC World Auction Central resources.

Yes, you may send multiple submissions to NGC or NCS in the same box. You may not, however, send submissions to other CCG companies (such as PMG or CGC) in the same box as submissions to NGC or NCS.

If you are submitting collectibles under the WalkThrough grading tier, mark each side of your shipping box with WK in large, bold letters. If you are submitting collectibles under the Express grading tier, mark each side of your shipping box with EX in large, bold letters. If you are submitting multiple grading tiers in the same shipping box, indicate the highest/fastest grading tier. Incorrectly marked packages will experience delays.

NGC accepts submissions from NGC Collector members through the mail or at shows only. NGC Collector members are not able to drop off coins at our office. NGC Authorized Dealers may drop off their coins at our office if they make an appointment. To schedule an appointment, contact NGC Customer Service at Service@NGCcoin.com or 1-800-NGC-COIN (642-2646).

NGC headquarters is a secure 60,000-square-foot, purpose-built facility with two large vaults, a staff of armed guards and more than 150 security cameras. Submissions to NGC are opened under security cameras, and each coin is immediately assigned a unique identification number that is used to track it throughout every stage of NGC's grading process. All coins are fully insured while in NGC's possession and are handled only by trained staff.

These security features are replicated at NGC's international offices.

Turnaround times reflect the average length of time that we think it will take to complete a submission received today under a given grading tier or service. Turnaround times for individual submissions can vary based on a variety of factors including whether the submission form was completed properly, the submission was packaged correctly, the collectibles require additional research and other reasons.

We strive to provide the most up-to-date turnaround time estimates on our website. For current turnaround times, please visit NGCcoin.com/Services.

NGC accepts major credit cards for payment. NGC does not accept checks.

If you are using international shipping to send a submission to our US headquarters, you must designate yourself as the “importer of record,” and you are responsible for all customs duties and fees for your submissions. If we incur any customs duties and fees for your submissions, these costs will be billed to you, plus an administrative fee of $25. To learn more, click here.

NGC accepts payments on an Authorized Dealer account only from the Authorized Dealer. Payments from customers of the Authorized Dealer are not accepted for the Authorized Dealer account.
