Submission across the street

Garneteye

While my US coins are all PCGS, my world coins are raw or with NGC. Since I post here only I wish to take advantage of the members who submit with both.
I am working on a collection(world coins) that I will be submitted to NGC. I also have a medal (1937 British Coronation) that I wish to have graded.

NGC policy - They will grade medals for

<< <i>British Medals as listed in British Historical Medals. >>



1- Does this medal qualify?
2- Can it be included with my other coins?(1887 British silver)

Thanks in advance,
Dan

There are a number of 1937 Coronation medals listed in BHM, for both Edward VIII and George VI. Can you describe the medal and do you have the original box that would give the maker (ex: BRM, Pinches, Spinks, etc.)? Also, what metal is the medal struck in and what is its size (in mm)?

1937

This is the medal, no box, just in a flip. However mine is Unc.

That is the official Coronation medal by P. Metcalfe, minted by the British Royal Mint. Catalogued as BHM 4314, it was minted in 2 sizes, 57mm in Gold (R) and Silver (C), 32mm in Gold (R), Silver (CC) and Bronze (CC). The rarity scale used by BHM is RRRR, RRR, RR, R, N, C, CC.

Mintage figures were large Gold - 274, large Silver - 9,051, small Gold - 422, small Silver - 87,143, and small Bronze - 78,078. In addition, approximately 6,000 each of the small silver and small bronze were struck in Calcutta from the master dies for distribution in India.

So NGC should slab your medal. As I have never slabbed one before I will only assume that you can submit both coins and this medal on the same order.
