NGC Services & Fees

Use this service to receive either the EARLY RELEASES or FIRST RELEASES designation for qualifying coins. Select only one. Visit NGCcoin.com/CutoffDates for a list of eligible coins and submission cutoff dates. Learn more about NGC Releases Designations.

Use this service to request a special NGC label. For a list of special NGC Labels, visit NGCcoin.com/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 7 and list the desired Special Label Name and # on each line next to the coin in Section 11.

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.com/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 designation. 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 thick are placed in an NGC Oversize Holder. Must be submitted on a separate submission form. There are two NGC Oversize Holder sizes available: medium (MSCH) and large (OSCH). By default, NGC will choose the NGC Oversize Holder size that it determines to be best for your coin or medal. NGC will accommodate requests for a specific size when possible. To request the medium NGC Oversize Holder, write “Use MSCH” in bold letters on the NGC Submission Form. To request the large NGC Oversize Holder, write “Use OSCH” in bold letters on the NGC Submission Form. Use separate forms for different requests.

High relief coins that do not fit in NGC’s standard holder will be placed in an NGC Thick Holder. There are two 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.

Coins as large as 180 mm in diameter and 28 mm in thickness are encapsulated in the NGC Mega Holder. Contact Customer Service to confirm eligibility. Must be submitted on a separate submission form.

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.To learn more about NGC pedigrees, click here.

All US or world tokens and medals struck 1990 to present, both private and official, can be submitted under the Modern tier or higher, as long as they meet the value requirements. US or world tokens struck before 1990, both private and official, must go under the Economy tier or higher. Esoteric pieces, particularly those submitted without documentation, may not be encapsulated and instead returned as Ineligible Type. Click here for a complete list of accepted US and world types. An appropriate catalog number should be provided for patterns, tokens and medals. If complete information is not provided, an attribution fee of $5 per collectible will be applied to the entire submission form.

Select this service for coins in General Services Administration (GSA) hard and soft plastic holders.

If you disagree with a grade previously 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 NGCʼs 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. All coins submitted under ReGrade are subject to the terms and conditions of the NGC Guarantee. In the unlikely event that the grade is determined to be lower through ReGrade, the ReGrade will be converted into an Appearance Review under the NGC Guarantee.

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. Fees are not refunded if the coin is not encapsulated by NGC. For more information about CrossOver, click here.
