    What should I do with this coin?

    Any suggestions on what I should do with this coin? I'm pretty sure it's authentic but NGC identified it as not suitable for certification.

    NOT SUITABLE FOR CERTIFICATION - Coins that are severely damaged or otherwise impaired. The surface condition of these coins makes it impossible for NGC to render a conclusive opinion about authenticity, Details Grade or both.

    NGC can you bring back the self populating the sets on the NGC registry. I believe there was a time you could just push a button and it would put the best coin in each slot for you and then you could adjust it if you wanted to change. 

    Not genuine?

    I've had a gold coin come back as not genuine. After that I only buy coins that are in NGC holders. At least you got your coin back and hopefully it's made out of gold. Apparently there's a lot of fake gold coins out there on the market.

    NGC or NCS

    One of my coins came back as 

    NOT SUITABLE FOR CERTIFICATION - Coins that are severely damaged or otherwise impaired. The surface condition of these coins makes it impossible for NGC to render a conclusive opinion about authenticity, Details Grade or both. The grading fee is refunded less a $5 handling fee.

    In the past you've sent me an email saying that you could send it to NCS I didn't receive that email this time. 

    I want to know if I could send this coin to NCS and possibly have them repair it? 

    At first I thought you were saying it wasn't genuine but that's not what you said. Not sure if you have a photograph of it but maybe NCS can fix the coin for grading ? 

    thanks. 

     

    What are the thoughts of fellow members regarding Platinum ?

    I enjoyed collecting bullion Platinum coins but I could only afford the 1/4 ounce. Now they only offer the 1 oz which is around $1,200 when Platinum is only $800. $400+. 

    not sure what the u.s. mint is thinking when they make a price of a coin so high that an average collector can't afford them. 

    if the u.s. Mint goes back to 1/4 ounce platinum I'll probably start my Platinum bullion coin collection again.
