What is the NGC grade of coins? What should I do?

NGC rating is the authoritative coin rating of American NGC Coin Company, which is divided into 0-70 grades and adopts Sheldon 70 standard.

The market price of the company's rated coins will be much higher than that of the same unrated coins. If the coins evaluated by ngc are identified as counterfeit, the company will buy them back in full. 60-70 marks represent the currency in circulation, all of which are high prices. The appraisal certificate may be famous for its exquisiteness, sample currency and relief. If it is counterfeit money, it does not score.

1.NGC uses the internationally recognized Sheldon 1-70 numerical rating standard, which was first used in the United States at the end of 1940s. When NGC started its business in 1987, it adopted this rating method which was recognized as the industry standard.

Second, NGC will add two English letters before the digital grade of coins to indicate the production mode and overall appearance of coins. Among them, MS is widely used, and MS stands for coinage country, and such coins are minted and circulated. PF stands for evidence. These coins were specially minted for collectors. Another casting type is SP, which stands for specimen. The coins described in this state can not meet the standard of refined coins, but their state is better than that of ordinary currency.

Mint, Mississippi. Coin minting remains the same as when it was issued, with a rating of 60-70.

PF, prove that coins are specially used for collection.

SP, sample. Coin status is between MS and PF.

Third, numerical rating.

There is no problem for NGC to use numerical rating to describe the appearance of coins. Based on the internationally recognized quantitative standards formulated in the 1940s, the numerical rating ranges from 1 to 70. The larger the value, the better the appearance of the coin. Skip some numbers below level 60, and level 60 is also a watershed to judge whether a coin is not circulating.

MS/PF66: The casting is very good, with some spots or subtle traces.

MS/PF65: The casting is in good shape with moderate spots or traces.
