FAQs
Your questions,
answered.
Who grades my coins?
PCGS or NGC examines your coins and decides the result. We prepare the paperwork, arrange shipping and keep you updated. Eligible coins return sealed in protective holders.
Do I have to deal with the grading company?
We prepare and coordinate your submission. Before you pay, we confirm the grader and explain any account or authorization requirements.
How much does it cost?
The US package is $129 for your first coin and $39 for each additional coin in the same order. That includes grading, paperwork, standard shipping both ways, packing instructions and support. You’ll see your full quote, including chosen extras and any tax, before you pay. UK and cross-border shipping need a separate quote.
How long does grading take?
We confirm the latest estimate before you pay and keep you updated. Timing depends on the grader and shipping; return dates aren’t guaranteed. Skip the line costs $49 where available.
Is my coin worth grading?
It depends on your coin and why you want it graded. We can help you weigh the cost, whether you want to check authenticity, sell or protect a keepsake. Grading doesn’t guarantee a higher sale price.
How does shipping work?
The US package includes standard shipping both ways. After payment, we prepare your label, paperwork and packing instructions. We confirm shipping and any insurance limits for your declared value before you send. Pack as instructed and keep the carrier’s acceptance receipt.
Can you guarantee a particular grade?
No. The grader must examine your coin. Cleaning or damage may lead to a Details result, which records a condition issue. Authenticity concerns or other issues may mean no grade. Grading fees may still apply.
Should I clean my coins first?
No. Cleaning or polishing can permanently alter the surface and affect the result. Leave your coins as they are.
Can I send more than one coin?
Yes. Add up to 10 coins, including multiples of the same type. In the US package, your first coin is $129 and each additional coin is $39. Two coins are $168; five are $285.
What if I can’t find my coin?
Choose “Other” from the coin list and tell us what you know. We’ll help confirm the details before preparing your submission.
When do I pay?
