Has anyone submitted to NGC........

their/your respective mint sets for grading to be holdered in NGC's newest addition holders? Can someone give me some feedback on them. Would it be a prudent move if I just submitted them to PCGS to be holdered singularly.....My pop left me some proof sets, and the more I visit this forum, the more I THINK I might have something. Which of the 2 would be the best route to take?
What is money, in reality, but dirty pieces of paper and metal upon which privilege is stamped?

    It depends on your goal for having them holdered. If just for you to keep as part of your own collection with no thought of selling for a long time, it really doesn't matter. The NGC holder is pretty cool and safer for long term storage than the mint packaging.

    OTOH, if you want to maximize value, PCGS graded moderns bring substantially more money than NGC graded moderns.

  • ? What would the price be to have it in the new NGC slab, and would they all be equally graded? It seems to be prudent to buy a set graded evenly than to submit sets and have them all over the numbers on grades! Tough decision to make, but that depends on the year of the sets.image

  • Thanks Russ...I'm looking to sell if they render a decent grade (69 or 70). I'm sitting on a couple sets that appear to have really choice Kennedy halves. These same 2 sets have Jeff nicks that are gorgeous. I'm not up to par with proofs or proof sets, nor was me pop...image

  • How long do you want to wait?

    I just got my second recent batch back from NGC.

    That was two different economy submissions, one back in 36 days and the other in 31. That's Calendar days, not business days.

    PCGS remains the top dog, but when I need/want things back fairly soon, well........you get the picture.

    I would have preferred PCGS, but a guy I know here in town is at 111 days and counting now on a PCGS economy submission.

    FWIW, I did just send in a few to PCGS yesterday, but I am in no hurry on them at all.

The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."

  • Jeff;
    I don't have them in front of me at the moment. The "Ball 'n' Chain" had me put them away upstairs. I do know that I have 74, 76, 78, 79, 80, 92, 93, 94, 95 a couple are silver, the rest are clad. It's the clads, if memory serves me correct, that possess the beauties..Now I'm gonna hafta go upstairs...geez! She'll be ramblin' now!...image

  • How do those multiholders work? Are there 4 or 5 separate grades for each coin or does the entire set have to be the same grade?

    I can think of a dozen reasons not to have high capacity magazines, but it's the reasons I haven't thought about that I need them.

    I'm quite certain they must be of the same grade. It's a neat idea.
