Submitting a US Mint Silver Proof Set for Grading

[DPCurrier-migration]

If I wanted to have a US Mint Silver Proof set graded... would I have to break it down into individual coins... and could I send it as-is and have it broken down on your side.

 

Thanks in advance for your response.

Hi,

 

If you prefer to send it in the original proof set packaging, there would be a $1 fee to remove the coins for you.

 

As a side note, the removal fee for proof sets is $1 per set, and coins that are sent in capsules, for example modern commemorative coins, are charged a $1 fee per capsule.

 

From a personal standpoint, I think the $1 fee is well worth not taking a chance of damaging the coin if submitting.

 

Thanks,

Absolutely, I agree. This is good to hear.

Andrew,

Please clarify.

Your post from a short time ago sounded like one acylic holding a proof set would be charged $1 for the 4, 5, or 6 coins depending on year etc. The NGC web site says the fee is $1 per coin which means on a 2005 proof set the acrylic which holds the cent, 2 nickels, dime, half and dollar (6 coins) would be charged $6. Please confirm is it $1 per coin or $1 per acrylic?

Wow. NGC should consider advertising this feature. I've been sitting on a boat load of proof sets for years because I didn't want to bust them open myself but also didn't want to pay $1 per coin to have NGC do it. $1 per set is way more reasonable.

Hi,

 

To crack a proof set, it costs $1 per set. For modern commems, proof eagles, and any other single holder capsule item, it is $1 per capsule.

 

Sorry if that wasn't clear in my previous reply, thanks for the follow-up.

Can the US treasury rolls that the Eagles (Gold and Platinum) come in be submitted intact or must they be broken down?

[Jay Turner]

You may submit complete rolls for grading and send them in that way. I would advise that the rolls such as eagles be taped down so that they do not open up in the mail. We will professionally remove coins submitted in rolls at no additional charge.

Just to add a twist to this topic. What if I submitted a silver proof set and I wanted all the coins graded except for the cent and the nickel(s)? Would you grade/encapsulate everything else and just return the cent and the nickel(s) Or should I remove them first?

[AVickery]

That would be fine as long as you make it very implicit on your submission invoice.
