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.
