NGC Retro Holder Program Is Back for a Limited Time!

Posted on 6/24/2022

In celebration of NGC’s 35th Anniversary, the popular black Retro Holder will be available for select US coins from July 1 through September 30, 2022, subject to availability. Special submission instructions must be followed. See the "Submission Instructions" section of this article.

Come join the fun as Numismatic Guaranty Company™ (NGC®) continues its 35th anniversary celebration with its ever-popular black Retro Holder, which is reminiscent of NGC’s first coin holder, introduced in 1987 and used for only a few months. Quantities are limited for each coin type and are available only while supplies last.
