NGC and PMG Evaluations

• Augusto Liu, NGC Senior Grading Finalizer, will be conducting free evaluations of coins.
• Evaluations will be provided from 14:00 to 17:00 on Friday, June 21.

• Chad Greenbach, Vice President of PMG Grading, will be conducting free evaluations of paper money.
• Evaluations will be provided from 14:00 to 17:00 on Friday, June 21.

To ensure that we help as many people as possible, there is a limit of 5 coins and 5 notes per person for the free evaluations. Evaluations are provided on a first-come, first-served basis.

Note: Because evaluations are performed in a show environment, as opposed to our standard grading environment (with proper lighting conditions and facilities), all opinions should be used only as a guide. The grading opinion may change after the notes are submitted and evaluated at our office.

Submitting to NGC, NCS, PMG and ASG

Regular NGC, NCS and PMG submissions will also be accepted. All regular submissions to NGC, NCS and PMG are shipped with insurance to the companies’ headquarters in Sarasota, Florida, for conservation and grading. After grading, collectibles are shipped with insurance to the companies’ Hong Kong office for pick up.

All regular ASG submissions will be accepted and held for the next on-site grading event in Hong Kong (tentatively planned for August 2024).
