Collectable Gold Coins
Understanding Graded Coins
What Is a Graded Coin?
A graded coin has been inspected by an independent grading company—most commonly NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Company) or PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service). These companies examine the coin’s details, check that it’s genuine, and assign it a score on a 70-point scale based on its condition.
Why Do People Choose Graded Coins?
- Guaranteed authenticity – You know the coin is real and verified by a respected service.
- Clear condition rating – Whether a coin is nearly perfect or shows natural age, you’ll see its exact grade.
- Secure packaging – Graded coins come sealed in a hard plastic holder (often called a “slab”) that protects them from damage.
Great Option for Collectors
Graded gold coins are ideal for collectors who appreciate clarity and quality. Whether you enjoy the craftsmanship of modern mint issues or the character of older historic pieces, a graded coin gives you confidence in what you’re adding to your collection.
