<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 3800456, member: 46237&quot;]The premium is because I would be submitting the coin to NGC anyway. So I don&#039;t have to pay the grading fees if it&#039;s already slabbed. Plus there&#039;s always some risk when buying online. I might have to buy a few examples of a modern proof to get one that comes back a 69 for example, so buying one up front with a grade I trust on the label saves me money. All of that makes it worth a bit of a premium.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>No, the NGC catalog. Basically their internal list of world coins that are eligible for grading. When you get a coin back that says &quot;ineligible type&quot; it&#039;s because it&#039;s not in the NGC catalog. You can petition to have these coins added (I try to do this ahead of submission so I don&#039;t waste my time) if you can make a good enough case for it. I&#039;m working with them right now to get a rather lengthy list of moderns added that have a strike type they weren&#039;t recognizing.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
