Submitting NGC graded proofs to NCS - Do I risk lowering the grade? 0

[Jim Lefeber]

If I submit some NGC graded coins to NCS for conservation (to improve their look), do I risk lowering the certification grade?

Also, if I submit a 1942 proof set for "reholder" to individual holders, will the NGC certification for the individual coins remain the same? Can I request the half dollar for conservation without risking lowering the grade?  Or, would anyone simply recommend keeping the set in the single holder?

I am new to this slab grading. It is an improvement over the old days and ways (I last collected in the 60's).  I am collecting proofs again (up to 1964) and I am thinking it is probably a good idea to have them all graded and slabbed.  I suppose I need to remove the ungraded ones from the Capital holders to submit.  Am I risking the dreaded 'cannot certify' for ungraded proofs?  Has this been a problem in the industry?

Thank you for your time and comments.

Did I ask some stupid questions?  I see viewers but no replies or answers.  Thanks.

Hi Jim,

You didn't ask any stupid questions but you did ask a question to NGC.  Most of us on here don't actually work for NGC, we're just collectors like you are.  The NGC people only respond during regular business hours.  You'll likely hear from them tomorrow

Thanks Tom. I posted this Thursday evening June 20.  How long does it normally take NGC/NCS to reply?

Sometimes they don't. I am still trying to find out why I can't see who likes my (or any other) posts.

Any way, back to your coins. I can see the haze on the first few coins, especially the quarter, and I can see why you would want to change the look of at least that particular one, but, if the multiholder were mine, I think I would leave it as is. They don't make those for regular customers any more - just for bulk submitters, I think - and the novelty of it really appeals to me. Just my opinion, though. Your mileage may vary.

Today is July 3 and I have yet to receive a response from NGC / NCS.  I will consider this topic closed and unanswered.

Thank you to "Mohawk" and "Just Bob" for their responses.

I think I choose to just leave the 1942 proof set in the NGC set holder and to leave the 1940 proof set alone in the existing holders.  Better safe than sorry.

I came across this at coin shop and thought it had a better then average strike so I snagged it and left. Is it worth grading

I think I’m close to do having it here what you all think?  It also has the serifs on the R in liberty

Hi Jim,

Sorry for the delay.

Once the NGC coin is cracked out of the holder, the grade is null and void.  Generally speaking, the grade will stay the same or go up.  

Also, if I submit a 1942 proof set for "reholder" to individual holders, will the NGC certification for the individual coins remain the same?

When re-holders are sent, they keep the same certification number.  Re-grades will receive a new certification number.

Or, would anyone simply recommend keeping the set in the single holder?  That would be up to you.

We would prefer that coins be sent to us in 2 ½ x 2 ½ non pvc flips.  If you would rather send them in the Capital holders you can.

Thank you
