Submitting Proof American Eagles

morgbill58

I have about 70 American Silver Eagles in OGP with COA that I have accumulated over many years at an average cost of about $40. If I want to submit them for grading, do I have to put them in flips or can I submit the plastic holder they come in from the mint? Thanks for any help you can offer!

Welcome to the forum!

They can be submitted in the plastic holder from the mint.

Just curious, if you submit a coin in its original mint capsule, does the mint return the capsule to you?

Yep, you can send them in the original plastic holders from the mint. Grading companies like PCGS and NGC will accept them that way, as long as the holders are in good condition. Just make sure to check the submission guidelines for any extra details.

Hope that helps!

I asked one of the second grade services to return the plastic capsules and they did.

If you want the capsules back, be sure to include this request on the submission form.

I have done this with PCGS submissions in the past, and they have always obliged.

If you request the OGP to be returned, there may be a fee/charge. Check with customer service on the possible fee.

Good edumacation for yours truly. I've submitted a number of proof ASEs for grading. I thought I had to put them in flips because I keep reading on TPG websites that they'll grade GSA coins and Ikes in the brown boxes while keeping the original slabs intact. I figured anything else would have to be placed in flips. I would have liked to keep my proof '72 Ike in the gov't slab, but PCGS told me that would have incurred an extra charge...and it wasn't exactly pocket change.

Hello All,

As others have mentioned, OGP and capsules can be returned if requested on the submission form at no additional cost. If not requested, the items may be discarded. While we have a good record of returning these items upon request and will do our best to do so, we also cannot guarantee this request can always be accommodated.

For GSA hoard coins that are graded and encapsulated in the original holder, these do require an oversized holder, thus the additional fee for the oversized holder. You can check out details on this here and here.

Best,
