Question about submitting 2005 Mint Sets to NGC for Grading

LongacreLongacre Posts: 16,717 ✭✭✭
I got an email from NGC. On the topic of special mint sets for 2005, it stated:

The 2005 Mint Sets that NGC has examined show a wide variety of production and handling quality. Even within a single set, coins can range from heavily frosted to mostly brilliant. While some coins are obvious specimens, others closely resemble regular circulating issues. Because of the inconsistency in quality of these coins, to assure that coins submitted to NGC receive the SMS designation, they must be submitted in their original mint packaging.



Does anyone know whether you can pick and choose the coins for NGC to grade and certify, or are you forced to submit all coins in the set for grading? I would think that you can choose the coin(s) you want graded and the rest would be sent back to you, but I am not sure. Does anyone know?

  • Why don't you just cut around them and send them individually? I mean, the ones you want to send in. there's no reson to send all of them in?
    Everything I write is my opinion.

    Looking for alot of crap.
  • What about the business strike pops? If the "brilliant" ones are considered business strikes, they are going to blow away the ones coming out of rolls!!

    Cornhusker1, that's the exact reason I started a thread the other day that didn't get much attention. The Mint Sets are yielding high grade satin and MS coins. Why should anyone buy the roll sets of the ocean in sight nickels?
