THE BENEFITS OF OWNING NGC COINS

NGC is recognized for consistent, accurate grading.

Because of this NGC graded coins are readily accepted by authorized NGC member/dealers as well as other dealers across America and around the world.

NGC is the official grading service of the American Numismatic Association.

The selection and endorsement of America's only official coin collecting organization chartered by Congress is another assurance of the integrity and quality of NGC. NGC has been the official grading service of the ANA since 1995 and has been the only grading service ever to hold that distinction.

NGC is the official grading service of The Professional Numismatists Guild. The PNG is an organization comprised of the world's top rare coin experts. The addition of the PNG’s endorsement gives NGC a stamp of approval from one of the most recognized and respected organizations in the rare coin hobby, representing the dealer community.

NGC VarietyPlus attributes major variety coins.

One of the valuable services offered by NGC is the attribution of coin varieties. By varieties, we mean coins which differ from their basic design type in some distinctive way and are thus differentiated by collectors. Thousands of varieties have been photographed and cataloged in reference books, making them highly collectable. Now your variety coins gain all the advantages of NGC grading and authentication when you choose VarietyPlus in addition to any grading tier.
