Coin Grading Services Guide
There are four major coin grading services, Professional Coin Grading Services (PCGS), Numismatic Guaranty Corporation of America (NGC), Independent Coin Grading Company (ICG), and ANACS. These coin grading services act as independent, third-party valuators who impartially grade coins. These coin grading services serve an important function for both coin buyer and sellers.
By assigning a grade to a coin, coin buyers and sellers have a better way to determine the quality of their coins and the coins’ worth. Unless you are an expert at coin grading, when you go to purchase an non-certified coin, you don’t know for sure what is the coin’s value. There can be a huge difference in value between an MS-65 and an MS-63. But coin grading services help to increase the confidence of both the buyer and the seller.
Another great function that these coin grading services perform is the preservation of our rare coins. When someone sends coins to be graded by a coin grading service, the coin grading services seal the coins in a protective plastic holder that is sonically sealed. These protective holders help to keep our coins from becoming worn. Hopefully, this will allow our future generations to always experience the beauty of our rare coins.
