Send These US Coins to NGC or PCGS?

Then you have the green light from me (like that means something). Go for it!

It does

I was thinking of going with the option that CT members voted for the most lol.

 

I once unwittingly submitted a single world token with a bunch of other world coins to NGC, and they just graded it on one single form. Not sure what that was, but maybe they ignore it if it's just one token. I also put $350 on another submission for the insured value on an economy form when the max is $300, and they ignored charging the next tier up for that, too. I think they do that to not upset the customer for a single error.

 

You must have snuck through on those. They're the only service I've ever had upcharge me for a coin bumping it up a level for grading a few bucks higher than the max.

 

Civil War tokens submit with other US coins. Both TPGs allow you to mix them in.

 

@iPen - if you are thinking of submitting to PCGS but want the token to go NGC, PM me. I have an order to go to NGC in the next few weeks you're welcome to piggyback on.

 

That's embarrassing for me. I was thinking they were in the special issue/colonial tier for some reason. It's been a long day

 

Not at all! I just submit CWTs pretty frequently. Unless you do, you probably wouldn't know. They kind of give the impression they treat tokens in a special way by describing them separately on the price list, but so long as US tokens end up with US submissions and World tokens end up with World submissions, they don't care.

That said, if you send in 2 Morgans, 2 Lincolns, 3 Civil War tokens, and a 1996 bullion silver, you may be waiting a while because those are all seen by different experts. I tend to group my submissions to avoid this when possible.

 

I try to do that as well, also never express a variety or error submission it won't be express unless you have a monster.

I am very glad you pointed that out about the tokens. You are absolutely right that they all seem to be intentionally ambiguous on those probably hoping people do what I did and assume it's the special tier.

 

OK, I sent them all to PCGS. I also included 5 pages of research to convince them of proof state or proof-like Columbus 50C and Isabella 25C commemoratives, and proof die diagnostics for some other coins so that they add them to those labels as an attribution-custom name hybrid.
