NGC Introduces Custom Label for Chairman Mao Badges from State-owned No. 614 Mint

NGC® has introduced a new custom label designed specifically for Chairman Mao badges produced by State-owned No. 614 Mint, offering collectors an enhanced way to showcase and identify these historically significant collectibles. The label is available for eligible badges submitted for NGC certification and reflects NGC’s continued commitment to supporting specialized collecting categories with expert authentication, grading, and encapsulation services.

As a leading third-party grading company, NGC provides independent authentication, grading, and encapsulation for coins, medals, tokens, and other collectibles. Through its standardized grading procedures and industry-recognized holders, NGC helps collectors preserve, protect, and confidently trade their collectibles.

State-owned No. 614 Mint traces its roots to the Shanghai Mint, one of China’s most respected official mints. Known for its experienced engravers, detailed craftsmanship, and advanced production capabilities, the mint produced Chairman Mao badges that are highly regarded for their intricate designs, quality manufacturing, and historical significance. Many examples bear the distinctive sunflower-shaped “614” hallmark on the reverse, a key identifier that has helped establish these badges as a recognized collecting specialty.

The new NGC custom label provides an additional visual designation that highlights their official mint origin while complementing NGC’s authentication and grading services. By pairing certification with a label tailored to this collecting category, NGC helps collectors more easily identify qualifying examples and build collections with greater confidence.

The State-owned No. 614 Mint custom label is available exclusively for eligible submissions made through Shanghai Chuchan Precious Metals Co., Ltd. — the exclusive agent for NGC Chairman Mao Badge grading services in Mainland China. Collectors interested in having qualifying badges certified and encapsulated with the new label should contact Shanghai Chuchan Precious Metals at 13916181599 or 15300775658 for submission details.
