Pedigree

A pedigree can be added to the certification label to indicate a coin’s past or present ownership. NGC must receive sufficient evidence to confirm the requested pedigree. Examples of evidence include photographic records from an auction catalog or a sealed flip / holder from the original collection or auction house. Recognition of pedigrees is at NGC’s sole discretion; the Pedigree fee applies when requested regardless of whether NGC determines the coin to have a recognized pedigree. To add a pedigree to a coin already encapsulated in an NGC holder, also select an applicable NGC ReHolder service.To learn more about NGC pedigrees, click here.

ReGrade
(Also select a grading tier)

If you disagree with a grade previously assigned by NGC, you may submit the coin for review for a higher grade. The coin must be intact in its NGC holder. Choose a grading tier according to the coin’s value and the tier requirements. Coins are graded according to NGCʼs grading standards, and a higher grade is not guaranteed. Fees are not refunded if a higher grade is not received. A coin submitted for ReGrade will be removed from its NGC holder by NGC staff and encapsulated with a new NGC holder, label and certification number, even if the grade does not change. All coins submitted under ReGrade are subject to the terms and conditions of the NGC Guarantee. In the unlikely event that the grade is determined to be lower through ReGrade, the ReGrade will be converted into an Appearance Review under the NGC Guarantee.

CrossOver
(Also select a grading tier)

Review of PCGS-holdered coins for NGC certification. Coins will be removed from their holders and encapsulated by NGC only if NGC determines that the coins will receive an NGC grade that is the same grade or higher than the grade assigned by PCGS. If you would like your PCGS-holdered coin certified by NGC even if NGC determines that it will receive a lower numeric grade, specify ANY in the CrossOver Minimum Grade column of the NGC Submission Form. If you would like your PCGS-holdered coin certified by NGC even if NGC determines that it will receive an NGC Details grade (or a lower numeric grade), specify DETAILS in the CrossOver Minimum Grade column of the NGC Submission Form. You may not request a minimum grade that is higher than the grade that is on the PCGS holder. Coins holdered by other grading services are not eligible for CrossOver and must be removed from their holders and submitted raw (not holdered), or they may be submitted in their holders if they are accompanied by NGC's Consent to Remove Coin(s) from Holder(s) Form. Fees are not refunded if the coin is not encapsulated by NGC. For more information about CrossOver, click here.
