NGC submission form 0

[Jimmerc]

A couple of questions:

the box that requires grade indicates either MS or PF.  If a coin is less than MS, eg. VF, should that go in the box?  Leave the box blank?
 

I am in the process of submitting about 9 coins for conservation.  Each coin has a value under 300$.  One coin is in the

400$ range.

  Do I have to submit it on a separate form?  If so, I will have one coin on the form.  Both forms can go in the same box.

Correct?

Just enter VF (only if it is TPG graded by NGC or PCGS) or G or AU.  Good luck.

MS is used for anything that is not a proof and PF is for proofs. Don't worry the type will be determined during grading, if you get it wrong it really doesn't matter as NGC will assign the correct designation on the label. 

FYI, if you just submit the coins for grading, and don't check decline NCS conservation on the submission form, NGC will automatically recommend NCS conservation for any problem coins. Of course this does not guarantee that all or any of the coins will be recommended for conservation but if the coins don't need it then...

This. Asking for conservation is a REALLY BAD idea. If NGC thinks it will help a coin, they will suggest it. If they DON’T offer it to you, all the conservation in the world won’t help your coin. Learn to accept that.

Keep in mind, “help” can be several things. It can be a numeric grade difference. It can turn a non-Cameo into a Cameo. I had that on an SMS half dollar. Or for copper especially, it may only get you a stabilized coin after active corrosion is neutralized.

The coins being submitted for conservation should be on a separate form from those intended for grading alone. NCS submissions do not need to be segregated by value tiers. Put them on one form at their respective values, and NGC will segregate them by tiers according to value when being subsequently re-routed for grading.

I really appreciate you taking the time to clarify this issue for me.
