Take it to a reputable dealer and get a hands on opinion. If it will straight grade AU or Better you might also think of using NCS Conservation Service to clean it up. I have used them, through NGC, four times on CC gold coins and was entirely satisfied. Also, if NCS does not think they can help they will tell you. Good luck.

Amazing find. Didn't think there were many still in circulation.

The coins in question were always safe; what wasn't was patience and understanding. I guess I will never find out the mailing address of the fictional NGC Post Office, eh? “The less people know, the more stubbornly they know it.” – Rajneesh

Took me a while ATS

EBay also sells some nice containers if you like

Sorry to have to disagree with you but I do not believe he knows the difference between a Company 'Mail Room' and a US Post Office.

EBay has a lot of 'used', but in great shape, NGC plastic slab boxes.

I went through the same thing ATS. I waited 7 days before my submission showed up in the Que. We have to expect delays remembering NGC et al are staffed by humans who also get sick or quarantined. Hang in there; it'll work out.

For your information: "Our P.O. Box is located in our Facility. I'm sure that your package is here safe and sound. As of yesterday we were opening the mail that was delivered to us on November the 6th. Thank you, Lisa"

Then obviously who ever it was mailed to did not get to the Post Office to check their PO Box. The USPS clerk at that US Post Office would place a small note telling the box owner they had a package to pick up. Maybe they only check their PO Box once a week. Just because it arrives at it's destination doesn't mean anyone came to check their box. We are still in the midst of a Pandemic and people cannot expect immediate service. I sent 4 CC coins to PCGS and it was the only time I ever* asked for a signature. It took six days for someone to check their PCGS box. My tracking would have read "Delivered" if not for the required signature. Tracking just said "Arrived at the Facility". * will never do that again

Yes. All of our major businesses have their own 'Mail Room'. Some, like NGC, are quite sophisticated. NGC employees package the coins, address the packages, weigh the packages, place the appropriate postage on the packages then place the packages into a container for shipment to the nearest United States Post Office. Some packages are held for FedEx or USP pick up.

I am.

NO! For gawd's sake: CGC5501 Communications ParkwaySarasota, FL 34240 --------------------what am I?

Then what is the Official Address??

Yes, correct: The United States Postal Service has installed self-serve kiosks called the Automated Postal Center (APC) in the lobbies of many post offices. Using a self-service APC is a convenient alternative to waiting in line for help at a full-service counter. That still doesn't explain the "NGC Post Office" phenomena. If Zip Code 34230 is the NGC Post Office then what is the Sarasota, Florida Zip Code? I'm sorry but I picked the wrong week to quit smoking dope.

Correct: These are known as a Kiosk. And they have their own zip code.

Maybe you did. The Zip Code and address for NGC Coin has been PO Box 4776, Sarasota, FL 34230 since moving from New Jersey in 2002. Perhaps you saw a Mail Room.

Be patient. I had three in for about a term of one month. I did not think this long given the circumstances occurring.

Then would you please provide me with the correct Zip Code? Thank you.

If I mail out to Zip Code 34230 from Zip Code 17745 my package to NGC will leave Monday @ 12;00 noon and arrive Tuesday by 12:00 noon or Wednesday Morning. Priority Mail Express Insured (No Signature). Cost is a little extra but I always have been impatient.

About a month ago I received back 3 coins, graded and slabbed, from NGC and those three coins didn't spend a month in the system. This "story", in my humble opinion, was created when the OP required a signature for a package going to a Post Office Box. I think, if you would have seen what I have sent, Priority Mail Express, without ever having a lost or missing package, you might be shocked. And shame on me for NOT having one coin lost or stolen via USPS, since 1966. Maybe it's because I follow instructions?

Yes it is IF he required a signature. NGC has a P.O. Box thus his package is placed in holding area and a 'Notification Slip' (Package Requiring Your Signature) is placed in the Box. Now, if his package arrived on a Monday and no NGC employee shows up to sign for it for two weeks - bad luck.

I made the mistake ONCE on sending to NGC 'Signature Required'. Since the have a P.O. Box SOMEONE must show up to sign for the package. That was the LAST time, and only time, I sent to NGC or PCGS 'Signature Required'. When I did I got the SAME INFO you got. No 'Signature Required' and they will drop it in the P.O.Box, and notify you, instead of holding it until someone signs. Now I have ALWAYS sent coins USPS Priority Mail Express (Overnight or 2 Day) and have NEVER suffered a loss. And I have been mailing coins since ANACS was in Washington, DC.
