Holy Cow, did you know that TPG NTC Corp. deposits your submission in a climate controlled vault?

Wow, what does PCGS have to say about this???? image

We carefully log in and store your coins in our climate controlled vault before the coin grading process begins.



Got to give them credit....it's not easy competing with the top dog!!!

Our modified clear acrylic resin case offers impact strength which is much stronger than general-purpose acrylic resins making it one of the strongest, most durable holders on the market. In addition, it has imbedded ultra violet protection to shield the sun's rays and protect the coin from toning. The insert is a non PVC material that will not react with the coins metal and cause change in color.

    I'm gonna send them an ASE monster box, cheaper than airtites!

    Oops, thought they meant $50 total grading fee. image

    No Way Out: Stimulus and Money Printing Are the Only Path Left

  • Heck, PCGS can put my submissions in a bag under a desk and I would feel better about the grade
    of the coin. I was wondering why I see so many of their slabed coin with a gold huge to them. That
    thermostat must be turned up real high. image

    Are they even still in business?


    At one time Robert Johnson owned them and would slab his own coins.


    Calling them a TPG is stretching it a tad IMO.


    Good for you.

    Does he use the same grading standards for coins that he owns as he does for coins owned by others?image

    I'm not convinced you can truly be considered a top dog until you begin grading colorized and hologram coins and you have also introduced your version of a prong holder.

  • I think that just means there vault doesn't get up to 120 in the summer and -30 in the winter.

    Or is there some Goldbully news I'm not privy to? He bought out NTC and is going on vacation? image

  • Since you guys seemed interested, I found this photo of the NTC vault area. It looks like one of their graders has suited up prior to examining your fine coins, this eliminates any chance of fingerprints.
