NGC is a leading third-party authentication, grading and encapsulation service for collectible coins, tokens and medals. Founded in 1987, NGC has graded more than 60 million collectibles. NGC-certified coins are backed by the NGC Guarantee of authenticity and grade, which provides consumers with greater protection. This guarantee, coupled with the knowledge and experience of the company’s graders, give buyers greater confidence. This results in higher prices realized and greater liquidity for NGC-certified coins. The American Numismatic Association (ANA) and the Professional Numismatists Guild (PNG) have both named NGC their official coin grading service.
NCS is the world’s first and foremost professional numismatic conservation service, with more than 1 million coins, tokens and medals conserved since its founding in 2001. From within a state-of-the-art secure facility, NCS uses a variety of proprietary techniques to remove harmful surface contaminants, stabilize and protect a coin’s surfaces, and improve eye appeal. The ANA and PNG have both named NCS their conservation service of choice.
PMG was founded in 2005 as a fully independent third-party paper money grading service. With an unparalleled commitment to accuracy, consistency and integrity, PMG is the world’s largest third-party paper money grading service with over 10 million notes certified. Every note that PMG grades is backed by the comprehensive PMG guarantee of authenticity and grade, which gives buyers and sellers greater confidence.
