Thank you for your message. 

NGC assigns its trademarked Star Designation to coins with exceptional eye appeal for their assigned grade. More information can be found here. 

Thank you for your message. 

Gem Brilliant Uncirculated (BU), or Gem Uncirculated, is an adjectival grade which NGC defines as being MS 65 or higher. The coin was not officially assigned an MS number, most likely as part of a special submission program. Adjectival grades exist alongside the numerical grades of the 70-point Sheldon Grading Scale.

Thank you for your message. This coin is a US federal issue and would not be considered a Colonial coin.

Thank you for your message. GSA CC hard packs are not opened by the graders to view the coin. The coins are graded within the plastic case. 

GSA hard packs are always evaluated for any tampering or mishandling before they are graded. 

Hi MTinis, 

Detailed submission instructions can be found here. NGC’s First Day of Issue designation and labels are available for select bulk submissions only.

We appreciate your interest in NGC. 

Hi, 

Thank you for your message. NGC's multi-holder program is only available for select bulk submissions at this time. You can certainly submit your coins for single holders with the Early Releases designation. Detailed submission instructions can be found here. 

We appreciate your interest in NGC. 

Hi,

Thank you for your message. The new multi-holder is a bit bigger so that it can accommodate larger holes and more coin types. 

Hi joydeep,

Thank you for your message. NGC no longer has any of the non-Edge View cores and uses the pronged core for all coins.

Hello, 

Thank you for your message. It can sometimes take a little time for the images of newly graded coins to appear in Verify NGC Certification.

Hello James, 

Thank you for your post, these are some nice looking coins. While it's a bit difficult to determine specific grades here, people will often submit coins that have some significance to them. That way, the coins can be preserved in NGC's museum-quality holder for years to come.

It may be a good idea to submit just a few of the best looking coins and see the resulting grades. If you're unfamiliar with our services, memberships start at just $25. We appreciate your interest in NGC.

Hi,

Hi,

Thank you for your message. Copper-nickel clad versions of the Eisenhower dollar were regularly produced without mintmarks for the bicentennial in 1976. 

Hi, 

Thank you for your message. NGC does not provide opinions on the value of a coin. We recommend that you contact a reputable dealer who can provide an opinion. The NGC Dealer Locator is a great resource to find a dealer in your area.

Hello, 

Thank you for your message. The medal can be submitted in a flip or its original US Mint capsule. The box should not be submitted. If you choose to submit the medal in its original Mint packaging and would like the Mint packaging returned, select the “Return Mint Packaging” box on the NGC Submission Form. The fee is $5 plus the cost of shipping.

Complete submission instructions can be found here. We appreciate your interest in NGC.

Hello,

Thank you for your message. For the 2019-P American Liberty 2.5oz Silver Medal, NGC's First Day of Issue designation is only available to select bulk submitters. Your medal should still qualify for the highly popular Early Releases or First Releases designations. 

Submission instructions can be found here. We appreciate your interest in NGC.

Hi,

While the image is a bit fuzzy, the coin appears to have been scratched during production. This would be considered "Damaged," rather than a Mint Error. 

The NGC Expert Review link can be seen in the screenshot below. If you are having trouble accessing this link, the best approach would be to visit the NGC Expert Review landing page and proceed from there. 

Thank you for your feedback.

The listing will not be removed from eBay if it is submitted for NGC Expert Review, as the service is offered through NGC. The listing will be evaluated even if it is complete, as the item can be relisted at some point. This will be uncommon, as experts will respond with 48 hours. 

Hi, 

Thank you for your message. NGC Expert Review is a formal process that is maintained through clear terms and conditions. We would not be able to extend the review process to forum posts or online photographs at this time, as the proper formalities are not currently in place. 

We greatly appreciate your interest in our new service. 

Hi,

NGC Expert Review was launched on June 25th. It is a great way for prospective eBay buyers to receive a preliminary opinion of authenticity and, if requested, grade. 

Thank you for your interest in NGC.

Hi, 

Thank you for your message. "Ineligible Type" refers to a class of coin, medal or token that NGC does not certify, regardless of its condition. The grading fee is refunded less a $5 handling fee.

Hi,

An Oversize holder is required for the 5oz silver dollar. The small dollar can be encapsulated in a standard holder. 

We appreciate your interest in NGC.
