<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Jaelus, post: 25305951, member: 46237&quot;]Ok so I get that for <i>coins</i>, but for tokens and medals, especially when they are low value? I love NGC since I mostly do world coins and I&#039;ve consulted for NGC on world coins. So I&#039;m firmly in the NGC camp, but I&#039;ve been consistently disappointed with their tokens and medals service because they keep sending most of my stuff back as ineligible. Even sometimes when I&#039;ve provided catalog numbers for references they list. Even when the value I listed for the token is negligible and I just want a condition rarity slabbed.</p><p><br /></p><p>I get them back always the same, completely identified correctly on the label, but marked as ineligible. What&#039;s the point? If they&#039;ve done all the work up to that point, <i>come on just grade it and slab it and take my money</i>. I mean PCGS will generally do that, though they will also send back tokens and medals as ineligible, their bar is <i>way way </i>farther out for doing that than NGC&#039;s. I&#039;ve had medals slabbed by PCGS that just say &quot;Silver Medal&quot; as the attribution. Ok, that attribution sucks compared to what NGC will do, but you know what? At least they graded it and slabbed it, which is what I paid them to do, and NGC won&#039;t.</p><p><br /></p><p>At this point, I&#039;ve moved most of my tokens and medals submissions over to PCGS with the exception of a couple series I&#039;ve been working on where NGC does slab them and most or all of my examples are already NGC slabbed. In this case, I was submitting some tokens I knew they would slab so I was hoping these could go along for the ride, but I guess that was too much to ask.</p><p><br /></p><p>Even with the above, the lion share of my tokens and medals are in trays. Since neither NGC nor PCGS are going to slab all of my material, I&#039;d rather these collections be presented consistently raw than be inconsistently slabbed.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
