Got mine too. Very nice gesture. I liked it, and I enjoyed the attribution guide last month. They are trying pretty hard. I prepared an invoice for PCGS today, and feel compelled to submit one to NGC this week too. I'm more interested in the grading results from both. Have any of you been watching the prices of the two holders at B & M? Try this link. Pretty interesting huh.
I think NGC sent coffee cups to dealers and members of their collectors society.

We are finite beings, limited in all our powers, and, hence, our conclusions are not only relative, but they should ever be held subject to correction. Positive assurance is unattainable. The dogmatist is the only one who claims to possess absolute certainty.
They are very nice mugs, good for cokes too. Interestingly they sent me too, I suppose I was on their list twice because I am also a member through the ANA. Even the slabs look good on the cup. My wife just shakes her head, now she has to look at it every morning next to the coffee pot.
Joined NGC last week - got my cup on Friday! Nice big cup so only half the number of trips to the coffee pot!

Perhaps it will be an annual event and Conder could collect cups. PCGS should try to compete ; might a make a great thread as could we can ask DH whether they would consider a cross.
Actually I DO have a weakness for advertising coffee mugs. I Don't care fore the "cute" ones, ones with sayings etc, but I do like advertising. I have a dozen or so, not really a collection but i keep thinking about it. Unfortunately since I don't slab I won't be receiving one of NGC's. I wonder if they would sell me one?
I got my mug from ACG, and my mug has pics of higher graded coins than your NGC mugs,,,,,,LOLOLOLOL!!
Hey Dragon, are you sure your ACG mug has not been holed and plugged???? I would check it before I decided to drink from it, I mean you know how ACG is!!!

No, only PCGS does the fingerprint thing. I have never heard a single person complain about coins coming back from NGC with new fingerprints on them.
