U.S. COIN CERTIFICATION

There are two nationally accepted independent companies which certify and grade coins: the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) and the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC). Both companies use standardized criteria to grade coins and are accepted worldwide due to their expertise. Each coin is inspected by a panel of numismatists using precise criteria to determine the grade of each coin. Coins are graded either Circulated, Uncirculated or Proof. Coins graded MS-60 and above are Uncirculated (also known as Mint-State coins). Mint-State coins and Proof coins graded above PR-60 have the best track record for growth. Each numismatic coin is encapsulated in a tamper-proof holder with its grading certificate showing Date, Type and Grade. The certified holders are molded from a durable transparent plastic, impervious to the elements, which presents an unobstructed view of each side of the coin.
