To request the large NGC Oversize Holder, write “Use OSCH” in bold letters on the NGC Submission Form. Use separate forms for different requests.

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.

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.

If you believe that the grade of an NGC-certified coin should be higher, you may submit the coin under the ReGrade service to be reviewed for a higher grade. The coin must still be sealed in its NGC holder. Coins are graded according to NGC's grading standards, and a higher grade is not guaranteed. However, the original NGC grade at the time of submission is covered by the NGC Guarantee. Choose a grading tier according to the coin’s value and desired turnaround time. The grading fee still applies even if a higher grade is not received. Coins submitted for ReGrade will be removed from their NGC holder by NGC staff and encapsulated with a new NGC holder, label and certification number even if the grade doesn’t change.
(USD) Included in Tier
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.
