  1. Hi Jerry, 

    Thank you for your question. The set will have to be sent in the original RCM shipping box if you would like the coins to receive the Canada Set location designation. This will be done automatically, and these coins will be listed separately in the NGC Census. Coins that are not submitted in their original sealed Mint shipping box will still receive the Pride of Two Nations set pedigree. More details can be found in this article

    We appreciate your interest in NGC. 

  2. Hello, 

    Thank you for your question. There are certain situations where coins or medals need to be submitted in the sealed US Mint shipping box to receive a particular attribution or pedigree. This is because the coins or medals are sold in different ways by the Mint. Some examples are below.

  3. NGC does not assign the plus designation to coins that numerically grade 69. Coins grading from NGC XF 45 to NGC MS 68 or NGC PF 45 to NGC PF 68 may receive a plus designation. It is assigned, when merited, to United States coins from 1792 to date, excluding US bullion and modern commemorative coins, and to world coins struck prior to 1970.

  4. The 1915 coin (-001) was previously removed from a piece of jewelry. This problem is more commonly found on gold coins, which have been and continue to be popularly placed in a jewelry setting. 

    The 1927 coin (-002) received a Cleaning comment because its surface was most likely chemically or mechanically altered. Cleaning a coin ultimately detracts from its aesthetic appeal.

  5. Hi Paul, 

    The Designation Review service is no longer offered by NGC. These coins can be submitted under the ReGrade service with a brief note on the request for resubmission. 

    Thank you for your interest in NGC. 

  6. Hi, 

    The coin is not counterfeit but has been changed in some way that alters its appearance (ie. chemical treatment, tooling). Coins that receive an "Altered Surfaces" determination are usually not encapsulated. 

  7. Hi,

    We recommend that you find a reputable dealer who can tell you about a particular coin and whether it would be worthwhile to have it graded. The NGC Dealer Locator is a great tool to find a dealer in your area. People will sometimes submit coins of sentimental value to preserve them and safely show them to friends and collectors. 

  8. Hi Paulezy,

    Thank you for your message. We offer a PreScreen service that reviews coins before they are encapsulated. This service is reserved for Authorized Dealers and Elite Collectors Society members only with submissions of 100 or more coins of the same type.

    We appreciate your interest in NGC. 

  9. Thank you for your message. The original mint packaging does not need to be submitted unless it is required for a special set designation. The New Coin Releases filter on NGCcoin.com contains articles with detailed submission instructions. The articles relating to the coins you mentioned above can be found below:

    The Apollo 11 coins can be holdered reverse up if that is clearly requested on the submission form. 

    We appreciate your interest in NGC.
