New NGC Labels in Wide Release

Late last year NGC introduced new, large-size labels for select series of coins. These labels allowed NGC to significantly increase the font size, making it easier to read the coin’s description and grade. The new size has also given NGC more space to create attractive designs to commemorate different coin series, such as American Silver Eagles and Chinese Panda coins.

NGC certification labels feature a number of advanced security features including holographic foil, UV ink and microprinting. Like the NGC holder, NGC labels are completely inert and designed for long-term preservation and protection.

After the limited release of the new label last year, NGC has expanded the use of these labels to virtually all regular (non-bulk) and on-site submissions of US, world and ancient coins. ReHolder submissions will also receive the new large-size labels. No special request or additional fee is required; these labels will be used by default for regular and on-site submissions.

Presidential Dollars, First Spouse $10 coins and America the Beautiful Quarters will continue to use the small series-specific labels for continuity purposes until these series are complete.

In rare instances, certain coin types cannot be encapsulated with the requested NGC label or will be encapsulated with an older NGC label type. While NGC maintains holders that can fit virtually every coin size, unusual coin sizes or more fragile coins may need to be encapsulated with a particular holder and label type. NGC will use its best efforts to accommodate eligible submissions with the requested holder and label type, but it may not be able to fulfill all requests.
