<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Moen1305, post: 167368, member: 2544&quot;]I was reading this post as the Fedex guy rang the doorbell with my first three sets.&nbsp; Are you guys saying that I can&#039;t even open the outer shipping box if I want NGC to grade these coins?&nbsp; What is the logic in that demand?&nbsp; I wanted to give these as gifts and thought that I had the option to at least show my kids what they looked like before having them graded.&nbsp; Realistically, how much could be lost buy not having them graded at all?&nbsp; Is this info on NGC&#039;s website?</p><p><br /></p><p>Oops!

The Mint will be selling three different sets which include three different formats of both the silver and gold American Eagle, including a proof coin, an uncirculated coin with W mintmark, and a reverse proof.</b></i></p><p><i><b><br /></b></i></p><p><i><b>Coins from these sets will be pedigreed as EAGLE 20TH ANNIVERSARY. A special NGC commemorative label will also be available. Because some of these coins are also available individually from the US Mint, special instructions must be followed in order for coins to qualify for this pedigree. Coins must remain in the sealed shipping boxes used by the US Mint, and the entire unopened package must be forwarded on to NGC for certification. NGC must open these boxes in order for the coins to qualify for the EAGLE 20TH ANNIVERSARY.</b></i></p><p><i><b><br /></b></i></p><p><i><b>Additionally, submitters requesting this designation or special label must submit these coins on their own submission invoice. The 20th Anniversary coins cannot be mixed with other coins to qualify for this pedigree.</b></i></p><p><i><b><br /></b></i></p><p><i><b>These submissions must be sent to the NGC offices in Sarasota, FL. Due to the special handling required, NGC will not accept submissions of these sets at trade shows.</b></i></p><p><i><b><br /></b></i></p><p><i><b>US Mint boxes and packaging material will be returned to the submitters, and a surcharge will be assessed on bulk submissions for this service. Dealers should contact NGC for bulk submission instruction and guidelines.</b></i></p><p><i><b><br /></b></i></p><p><i><b>As of this release, all 2006 reverse proof coins will be eligible for this pedigree and label regardless of mint packaging, as these are only sold in Twentieth Anniversary sets. Uncirculated and proof coins with W mintmark will not qualify for the designation if not submitted in sealed packaging.</b></i></p><p><i><b><br /></b></i></p><p><i><b>Questions?
