World Coin's Certified by NGC

6 posts in this topic

I have several coins from Thailand graded by NGC and getting ready to send in more next week. I am not sure how many people actually collect Thai coins for grading. I know I see some on Ebay but it's hard to find graded ones at the major shows.

NCG does (or did) grade both coins and at least medals not on their list.

 

Finding graded world coins from most countries is frequently difficult because most of the demand is local and most non-US collectors do not like slabbed coins. That is why the census populations are so low for practically every issue; not that the coins are "rare". I see anecdotal evidence that this is changing but I still suspect that a disproportionate percentage of the demand really comes from collectors based in the United States. There are a few exceptions such as the South Africa ZAR and Union I collect but not many others.

NGC grades Thai coins. I've sent in a few. But the last time I looked Thailand wasn't listed in the census.

 

Of course they are in the census:
