How to Submit Coins to PCGS for Grading
Vložit

- In this video I talk about how to submit modern bullion coins to PCGS for grading. In regard to PCGS vs NGS I prefer pcgs because they have been around longer. The pcgs coin grading service can increase the value of your bullion coins. The pcgs grading process includes several individuals looking at your coins to determine a grade. The pcgs price guide can help you decide if the grading process is a good idea or not. The pcgs grading cost is about $40-$60 per coin depending on what you want done. my PCGS submission last year was easy to do so I show the process this year. My pcgs coin grading results so far have not been great but I hope to get better grades this year. pcgs grading is not for everyone, but I show the whole process in this video. Last year I did a pcgs coin grading unboxing and I will do the same this year to show my pcgs grading results. I have the gold pcgs membership. This video shows all of the pcgs submission instructions for the current online webpage.

Another great Vid, SD. This is super helpful for the new folks and even a good refresher for us old hands who haven’t submitted in a while.
thanks so much my friend! 🔥🐉
I really appreciate this video. I’ve never sent anything in to be graded and I do want to send a few in now. Great step by step informative video. Even if you think it was a little long, I think it was worth the time! Thank you!
Just finished the submission process. My first coin to be graded. Thank you for this video!!! The information was awesome. I probably would have given up had I not watched this to guide me through. Thanks for helping a newbie. Now hoping for a 70. 😃 Again,Thanks.
Thank you so much for the video I followed your instructions to the T.
First time using the service awesome video
Great information. I enjoy your content. Thanks again!
Thank you for this video - it was very helpful! I've never submitted a coin for grading before, but I'm going to send my WWII V75 ASE to PCGS this week.
I haven't used PCGS in some time. Thanks for the walk through, man!
you are welcome my friend! 🔥🐉
Thanks so much for putting this video. I just sent in my 1st grading coin. Thanks
I'm so glad I found your channel! I just got a gold membership last month, and I'm working on submitting my first coin. It's a 1984 penny that looks brand new.
I wish more people explain things the way you do. Thank you for this channel, and thank you for all your hard work. You just got yourself a new sub.
perfect timing I will be using PCGS for the first time this week
awesome good luck my friend! 🔥🐉
This is what I've been waiting for. I have lots of coins that I need graded. Thanks for the video
Thank you so much for this Silver Dragons. I'm totally new to having a coin graded and this was very helpful.
you are very welcome good luck with the grades! 😁🔥🐉
Had a gold coin lost by USPS and glad I had it insured. Just be aware that even if you insure it for $300 they will require proof from you that it is worth that much. Sales receipt or invoice or some proof. They will not pay out if they disagree even if you paid insurance for $300 coverage.
Thank you! Sending my silver medal out as soon as it arrives this week and this is a lifesaver.
Good luck on getting a signed coa
you are very welcome and good luck! 🔥🐉
@@MikeeVee 🤞 Suspense is killing me
This video is extremely helpful man.. thank you!
Always helpful, thanks bro 👍
Great video. I submitted my first coin (V75 Silver) and without this instructional video I would have been lost. I sent the box unopened. Thanks again.
awesome good luck with the grading! 🔥🐉
This was really helpful information i just purchased my first silver metal but didn’t know if I couldn’t get it graded since it’s not a coin but now I know 👍
yes you can get it graded 👍🏽🔥🐉
I know I’m late to the party but thanks for this video as I’ve never gotten a coin graded and wanted my 5oz 2012 Australian Year of the Dragon graded , your video was perfect in sending me in the correct direction thanks !
Nice job teaching the grading system sir, thank you! Now I’m ready to send in my V-75 ASE for grading..
you are welcome and good luck! 🔥🐉
Whoa! I always wondered how much it would cost to get a coin graded. It’s a lot more than I expected!
Thanks for the education!
lol yep it’s a lot... bullion dealers do bulk orders though and it’s cheaper for them 🔥🐉
@@SilverDragons47 This is why if I want a graded coin, I buy an already graded coin. The bulk orders that bullion dealers and coin shops do give them enough of a discount so that we can buy an already graded coin cheaper than buying a raw coin then sending it in as an individual for grading.....and taking a chance on the grade.
Hi Silver Dragons. Great info. I haven't sent anything in yet, so this was very useful. Thank you.
you are very welcome my friend! 🔥🐉
Hey SD, I really appreciate the video, and all of the comments were helpful! I wasn't sure how to send the coin but I knew I didn't want to put it in a flip and send it that way. Sending mine off to PCGS tomorrow. (I like their label better) Fingers crossed it gets an MS70!!
Great video you probably just saved pcgs answering a million questions thanks for your help
A very helpful video I am starting to learn a little about coins and I've been saving a lot of mint errors and that's my concern
@@davidwalther2550 ya personally I only stack special newly minted coins, I don’t chase mint errors cause there is not any real grading system on it and can be over paying for money
GREAT information. Thanks for sharing. 👍
you are welcome my friend! 🔥🐉
Hey Silver dragon I just wanted to say thanks for all the good advice on getting the coins and how to submit them. I bought coins from the usmint for the first time after I seen your videos and I got the 75th WWII 24k, the 75th WWII silver medal, and the 400TH Mayflower 2 coin gold set.
Thanks for this, will be sending my first coins for grading with help from your vid !
you are welcome and good luck! 🔥🐉
@@SilverDragons47 my coin is now in QA status at PCGS and I got PR70DC. Thanks for all your help!!
Thank you for the information about grading!
you are welcome thanks for watching! 🔥🐉
Thank you for the video I was going to join two of this year and I always wondered exactly how to do fill it out thank you
you are very welcome and good luck! 🔥🐉
Outstanding information.
Great video as usual✅
Very cool instruction! Never seen that before!
you are very welcome my friend! 🔥🐉
Thank you so much for this! Excellent information and perfect timing. I’m hoping for a Proof 70! Lol.
you are welcome and good luck! 🔥🐉
The open or not question is also important for the next buyer of an ungraded coin if he wants to grade it. If a buyer is hoping for an MS70 he wants it in brown box unopened - because if it is opened the seller may have inspected it and sold it because in part it is flawed. There’s a treasure hunt aspect to buying unopened boxes that raises the price of the coin.
But if you are keeping or grading yourself, different situation. Congrats on your v75 silver.
right but they did say if the package gets bent in the mail or if the glue starts coming off they will say it’s been opened so the best way to ensure you get FS is to send it in within 30 days regardless... 🤷🏽♂️🔥🔥
Yeah! Another question is what is worth more to flip, an unopened box or a graded PF69?!! The unopened box has the potential to be a PF-70, the PF-69 is a known quantity if you will.
@@roryross3878 it’s a risk either way 🔥🐉
Great work brother I’ve been wanting to know soo much more on this
So with the v75 silver eagle if you send it in unopened will they encapsulated a coa or does it not have one? Just wanna make sure I get everything possible for this one!
@@inkscars6380 thanks so much! don’t get the COA encapsulated for the v75 it’s not special at all 🔥🐉
Ok good deal thanks brother 🙏🏻
Thanks for all the information still a little confused but I think I got the gist of it.
Great video and lots of great information thank you
you are welcome and thanks for watching! 🔥🐉
Thanks for the info I appreciate it 🤘
you are welcome my friend! 🔥🐉
Great info bro
Great video. Very thorough. 👍 Thank you.
thanks so much! 🔥🐉
@@SilverDragons47 best video on youtube explaining the process imo and as this is my first time getting a coin graded was very helpful.
Thx for the video I'm planning on going through my lcs to have 8 Franklin's graded hoping for proof 70's to come back 🙏
Very helpful video. Thank you.
you are welcome! 🔥🐉
Thanks for the info. My package was badly damaged during shipping and I checked to make sure the coin was okay. I noticed that your video said it was possible to get first strike even if the package was opened and submitted within 30 days. However, the local pcgs authorized dealer said that it wasn't possible since the package was opened. So now I'm waiting on pcgs to contact me to verify, lol.
i guarantee you can send it in and still get first strike... as long as it is “postmarked” within 30 days of the mint release... (maybe if you wait too long you can smudge the postmark 😂) 🔥🐉
Thanks for the info.
Very good info to know because I was able to get an end of WWII silver medal and will be sending it in for grading
awesome good luck with it my friend! 🔥🐉
@@SilverDragons47 thank you 🙏🏻 sir....I will post again when I get it back let you know 💪🏻👍🏻
Just wanted to give you a big thanks for this video, I bought a v75 and used your video to walk me through the grading process . Just got it back last week and is a 70! So excited. Not sure if I should keep it or cash out and buy more silver with the earnings?
Great info. About to do this for the first time. Still waiting on my silver V75.
awesome and good luck my friend! 🔥🐉
I know the NGC and PCGS service, both are excellent for American currencies. Sometimes grid 1 or 2 points up or down. But I confess that foreign currencies are too flawed for authentication. There is a lack of specialized people in this area. I think they should really only classify American currencies. I've seen every encapsulation of Roman coins that make your hair stand on end, there are pieces that you can't tell if they are fake or real due to so much wear. But they simply encapsulate because it is an advantageous market. I am an ANA Member myself, and really in my opinion I don't find it interesting to have a coin sealed in an acrylic box, and I can't touch it and feel the whole story behind the coin in my hands. Coins have always been collected in this way, but suddenly from 3 decades, these firms started to emerge, in fact vision to really profit. I still consider and use the classic way to collect coins.
Thanks for the video. Looked this up last month, but there weren’t any quality guides on it.
awesome i’m glad I could help! thanks for watching! 🔥🐉
That price to grade a coin is absolutely crazy! I can understand it for a rarer coin like the v75 Eagle but at almost $70 no way it’s worth it for a BU coin or most proof coins. No wonder the eBay prices are insane for most slabbed coins! Thank you for sharing! Also, if you have the gold membership for $150 why does it still cost almost $70 to grade the coin?
Good video
Very timely. I just received my v75 ASE about an hour ago. Now time to decide to grade or not, before I flip it.
right on and congrats! 🔥🐉
Good information, thanks. Hot dang that's pretty expensive. I'll just stick to buying them already slabbed lol.
Thanks for the video. Will PCGS (or NGC) grade semi-numismatic silver rounds under their Tokens and Medals catagory?
I will probably sign up soon for a PCGS silver account. I already got a paid membership for NGC
QUESTION - My younger sibling opened the brown box it came in but didn't touch the blue case/small box it came in, would I have a problem sending it to them as is still within the 30 days. I did notice my invoice is in the box so wasn't sure if everything it shows on the mint site is inside the blue case/small box since I didn't open it. Thank you for the step by step video def made my first grading experience be pleasant!
@Silver Dragons For insurance-USPS only pays out for the purchase value. If you paid $80 dollars but people are paying $800 for it, you get $80. Registered has a "Chain of Custody". If it's in your (the Postal Employee's) custody then they signed for it.
Hey Silver Dragons 👋🏾 so I have a preorder Silver Eagle type 2 on it’s way, is that a good coin to get graded if I’m just starting out? What about a 2020 libertad? And going forward how can I ensure I’m able to get the FS label? Let me know! Thanks tor the channel!
Nice, I am about to become a member for ngc and get some of my coins graded. 🤟 take care silver dragons🔥🐉🤙
awesome good luck my friend! 🔥🐉
thanks for demystifying grading.
Do you think ngc is just as good?
@@mintedauag512 in my eyes they are very comparable companies, I have read a lot about both and quite frankly both are classed as superior by Numismatist guild so unless someone knows any different I think any of two is a good choice.
@@mintedauag512 yeah they are the same 🔥🐉
Thanks brother!! Very informative! I’m still debating on getting my Gold - End of WWII graded or not..
you are welcome! If it were me I would get it graded 🔥🐉
@@SilverDragons47 I got my Gold v75 coming in today. What do you put as the "declared value" on something like that?
@@jcnelson84 probably 3k pcgs said: Please note: The Gold Proof Coin will need at the Express level or higher due to the selling price of the coin.
Thank you for this video. I have never had any of my coins graded so I don't really know how to do it. Your video helped a lot. I'm still having trouble understanding when you chose max value $2500 or max value $300, etc. I don't know the value of my coins because they've never been appraised so how do I know which Service Level to choose? I hope that makes sense. Thank you!
Super helpful video! Thank you! Question...what are your thoughts on the 400 year anniversary mayflower coins coming out? As well as the last (of the current design) 2020 one ounce American eagle coming out? Do you foresee value?
next year they have the same eagle designs... 🤷🏽♂️i’ll be going for the mayflower 🔥🐉
Hello SD! If you send PCGS or NGC a sealed box directly from the US Mint for grading with your personal infor/receipt, booklets, ect. from purschase will they return it with the graded coin. Thanks!! Great video!! 👍
I am going to send in my v75 silver. But do i have to take it out of the air tight case and put in the mylar flip ? I'm afraid that it could get scratch in the flip than the case easier and lower my grade on the coin.
Thx for the video, How to get FDOI label while I received it from the mint weak after??
I have some morgan silver dollars coming eventually from the mint. Your saying the cardboard box the mint shipped them in, I shouldn't open it and sent that shopping box directly to pcgs? Did I understand that right?
So, two nits I feel the need to pick.
First, it's my impression that the USPS doesn't insure coins on Priority, only Registered.
Second, if you use card, they store it in their system, they don't post the information on the shipping manifest you showed.
Is it cheaper to go gold if you're submitting both v75 coins as you get the free submissions, or does the extra label and encapsulated COA still get charged on top making the silver a better option if you're only submitting the 2 coins?
Have you ever submitted a whole set for grading? Like a special mint set or limited edition silver set? anything like that? Just wondering if you send each coin separately...
Would you be able to get the v75 special label & COA encapsulated added on NGC as well ?
I recently completed my Eagle set with the purchase of the entire 95-W gold set and “bonus” Eagle. I think it’s worth grading the Eagle, but do you think it would be worth it to get the entire set graded. A complete 1995-W gold/silver set in MS-70 WOULD be sweet.
Sorry if you’ve already answered this question, but can I send my coins in with the plastic capsules I put them in or do I have to take them out an put them in something different??
Thank you
Now, I have a few error coins, where can I send photos to get an estimate to see the value?
I just ordered a couple of the 2021 SAE Proofs and I'll probably sell one eventually. I notice there's quite a substantial resale difference between the graded SAE's, but there were over 300K of these produced, so is it a sucker's bet to spend the dough for grading, or is it the good investment? I'm not a member nor a serious collector, but I wanted to grab a couple of these, as it's the last year - and they sold out so fast......
I also use PCGS. From what I was told when I started sending expensive coins thru USPS is to only use registered mail even though its expensive. They do not offer insurance on money of any kind and the insurance you pay for will not be payed out unless its registered mail. You gotta read fine print. I guess you could lie about what you sent but I dont risk it. With registered mail every postal person that your package gets handed off to will have to sign for it so there is a trail.
Is a voucher only good per coin ? Or can a voucher be used for 1 submission? For example, if I send 10 x 2020 proof eagles in one submission, is this a 1 voucher usage ? I can’t seem to find this info on the pcgs website.
Do I have to become a member to send it out to them because from the looks of it the voucher dose nothing for cost or dose is cut sum cost ????
Any purpose in the gold shied?
I had someone send in a coin for me for $60 and then pgcs charged my card $70.
So it seems it would have been cheaper should I have sent it in myself.
Thanks to you that's what I'll be doing with my 2nd coin.
I know the guy who sent it in for me had it with ahold shield as he said it's included in the voucher for free.
So I would select for example the Gold membership for $149 and then the 4 vouchers will be available for the very first coin? Or only for the coin proceeding this one?
You were super clear. Thanks for explaining this all.
As well what's all those extra stuff I saw you had meantioned in the notes of the website for extra stuff?
I have the same coin you're talking about the silver V75 which I want graded to flip on eBay or a local buyer.
Would want the most value of it. But not buying anything that's not needed for resale.
Thanks again for your amazing channel.
I wanted to also know if I send a coin in and I figured a grade and price of the coin and pay for that. But when they are grading the coin to give it a higher grade automatically if it is a higher grade which means the coin is worth more than I put on the form. Will they grade it higher automatically and then when they charge my account will they go ahead and charge the higher fee? Or will they only grade it up to the grade and value I paid for on the form? I have watched a few of these videos and no one has address this question. I want the highest grade and value I can get but will they do that if I did not pay for that on the form
The whole unopened box issue with PCGS is why I went with NGC. I wanted to now if I was one of the few lucky people to get the limited number of hand signed COA's ( I did not :( ) I sent in the End of WW II 75th Silver Medal and the $25 Gold coin. Here's hoping we get 70's Silver Dragons...!!!
I would like to know which box not to open. Is it the box that the medal was shipped in or the box the medal is in?
Thanks! I will probably just bring it to my LCS and they will ship to PCGS. I get out of paying shipping that way lol
nice bro none of my LCS offer that 🔥🐉
Do video on last year 2019 reverse proof to v75 how value could stay up or down.
value went down.... there are a lot of factors... the biggest is will people collect these in the future 🔥🐉
I have a 5oz silver Aztec coin form golden state mint when I received it I put it in a capsule. My question is should and would it be worth getting graded? I would like to send it in but don’t know if it’s worth it. Any advice is appreciated thanks
Can you specify to have the COA encapsulated ONLY if it's signed? The new peace dollars had a very small percentage of the COA's signed, in which case having it encapsulated would make sense, but if it's not signed, it would be money thrown away.
Hello, I just bought my first coin it is a 2021 gold eagle & I was wanting to get it graded & would like to get the first strike on it, by do not open the box do you mean the box it shipped in or the actual sealed box with the coin inside?
What do you think of the 2020 ASE graded by PGCS first strike emergency from San Fransisco mint? And what label is best? In other words what's the best labels? Do the black labels have any significance?🐉🐉🐉
quick question I got both the 1/2 gold end of ww2 coin and the silver metal did i hear correctly that they came with COAs and that some of the COAs were signed?
only the medal has a potentially signed COA 🔥🐉
My coin came in yesterday. I was thinking about getting it graded but have been seeing people with milk spots and rim dings on their coins, along with other issues. I'm not to mention, I only have 7 days left in my membership with PCGS. Would it be wise to open it and check the coin?
One note for the USPS insurance. USPS policy stated it won't pay lost or damage insurance for coins that was not shipped under regiester mail.
right but they won’t even know what was in the package... it’s just a dollar amount 🤷🏽♂️🔥🐉
@@SilverDragons47 oh, no. I got my insurance package lost few times with USPS. when u go through the claim , they want you to provide the receipt of item showing the description of item you purchased, date, etc... so better to do it their way, if in case the package is lost and they wont insurance your coins becuz you did not send under registered mail and they wont refund the insurance fee u paid for. On the other hand, it is usually the people who work at usps warehouse stole those packages, sometime they aim for high insuranced package. my package was stolen at destination usps store, that package was never leave destination usps store for delivery. The good thing about PCGS they uses PO box, which it arrive at destination usps store for pick up. maybe it could be safer. So my recombination is to send package in envelope like package , like the flate rated envelope and fill in with cardboard, make it feel like document papers, so people are less interested in those envelope/document paper like packages. those thieves are more interested on bigger packages and they can easily tell whats in there buy shaking and feeling throug the packages.
2 questions. What do you actually ship the coins in? Can I ship them in a plastic flip or like one the cardboard stapled 2x2? And if you happen to use cash do you literally just put the cash in with the coins when you send them?
Ok I a just filled out my paperwork for PCGS grading. I opened the original shipping box. Do I send the whole mint presentation box or should I pop out the coins and send those only?
Wow. I didn’t know about what made something a “First strike.” I missed out on that. I was going to get my 2021 American eagle designer set graded, and it’s way too late for that. How much does it really hinder the value?
Do you know if you can send in a third-party Mint coin for example like the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse series
Good afternoon. Could you tell me if I have to send coins together with box and certificate and if i have to pay extra to send those coin boxes?
What does it take to get the First day of issue FDOI on such a coin? Or better what's the difference between that and the First strike?
Why would you not go for the FS? Or FD?
As well what does the voucher cover?
And can I send a 2700$ Coin in? Or they won't grade coins over 2500?
Hi SDs, your gold membership comes with 4 vouchers. In this example, does that just cover the $16 fee? Are you responsible for $76-$16= $60?
When you send it in do you send in the boxes too? If you do, do they send them back with coin? Thanks for the video!
yeah I got everything back last year 🔥🐉
Do I take all V75 ASE Out of their packaging and put them in flips? There seems to be a double standard that is hard to understand
he said you can tape it to the box. 12:35
On the Declared Value how does that work ? 🤔 ... Is it the retail value that you determined you would want to sell at or just so to say a particular number you prefer to start at in a event hypothetically speaking to auction off if so
you need to put at least whatever the price you paid for it is... it’s supposed to be retail though 🔥🐉
I plan on sending in 2 silver 75th anniversary coins and 1 silver medal, would I be better of doing the gold package? Or stick to silver?
