Looking to make my first NGC submission. I am thinking that amongst the items I want to send in, will be a US Mint Proof set from the 70's. Can I submit that in the original mint holder, or do I need to break the coins out? Does it work out cheaper to get one of the membership levels that includes 5 submissions versus just getting submission privileges?
http://www.ngccoin.com/collectors-society/ http://www.ngccoin.com/services/services.aspx http://www.ngccoin.com/submit-coins/how-to-submit.aspx You can submit in the original mint holder. If you want the holders returned to you, they charge $3.
Yes, they will crack it out for you and grade the coins. It only works out cheaper for you the first time you send in coins and use the 5 free certificate you get for joining one of the different levels that give you the cert. If you think you will be submitting a lot of coins over the course of a year, the ELITE membership gives you a year long 10% discount on grading fees plus the 5 free when you first join. I upgraded last year and it has saved me some bucks with the 10% discount as I have sent in quite a few coins. As a bonus, the 10% savings on grading fees carries over to PMG, etc, their other grading companies.
