NGC Announces Year of the Dog Label

Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) has announced the availability of its Year of the Dog label, which continues NGC's popular Lunar Series of special labels celebrating the Chinese zodiac. The zodiac's 12-year cycle features a different animal each year; in February 2018, the Year of the Rooster will come to an end, and the Year of the Dog will begin.

NGC's Year of the Dog Label

China is well-known for minting zodiac-themed coins, and other countries do so as well. The Royal Canadian Mint is already issuing commemorative coins for the Year of the Dog.

The Year of the Dog labels are available for all Year of the Dog coins for a $5 fee (no additional charge for bulk submissions). Customers who want this label should write in bold letters on their submission form: “Year of the Dog Label 926” (or “Year of the Dog Label 927” for coins requiring Oversize Holders).
