Horrible grades, not even close to what they should have been. As well as sabotage when I. Emailed them twice about what was taking so long. If their website would say that they had a month and A half turn around, it would be a different story. But it doesn't. It says 10 days a month later, of course I'm going to email. But I literally can't believe they ruined two of my coins that they didn't grade.

They simply won't give me my coins. I have been hospitalized indefinitely and they refuse to send my coins to me because they won't except my new address at the VA hospital.

Recently sent 5 mint error coins. They only graded one with a chip a error but paid for 5 errors. Sent message where double die on 4 coins. Doubling clearly visible with jewers loupe or coin microscope . The got charge duty on my own coins. So pissed

I was disappointed with my recent experience submitting ten coins for grading, which cost over $800. The process took an unusually long time, approximately two to three months, to receive results. Additionally, I believe the grading was inconsistent, as several coins were significantly undergraded. Notably, I submitted five Morgan dollars with clear DMPL or PL characteristics, exhibiting strong frosty cameo contrast. However, these were not graded as DMPL or PL, despite appearing comparable or superior to similarly graded coins in NGC and PCGS holders. This experience has led me to question the accuracy and reliability of the grading process. As a result, I would not recommend submitting coins to this service and advise others to exercise caution.

Took forever to get back world coins. Economy takes over 100 working days which is equivalent to 5 months! I sent them in the first of March. It’s now end of June. I called them they said they were graded, just waiting on the time ( 100 days) to run out. What? Never again.

Bought a set of 1956-1964 proof 68 pennies from a third party 7 years ago. (Bought these and many other coins for my retirement, put them in my closet for the time when I did retire). I HAD the chance to sell them today, after taking them out, I noticed a 1958 penny in my 1956 tamper proof coin holder. After a half a day on the phone, I was told by NGC that it was the 3rd parties fault!! HORSE FEATHERS!! The reputation of NGC is they HAND certify each coin under magnification, then, there is another step where several PEOPLE review the first, after they agree, it is sent to another PERSON, who makes the final decision. Soooo... How does 3-6 people miss the date on the coin???then to put it in the holder!!!! DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND IF YOU USE THEIR SERVICE, BE VERY CAREFUL, BECAUSE THEY WILL NOT MAKE IT RIGHT AFTER THEY SCREWED UP!!! They blamed the 3 party for their mistake!! PRETTY PATHETIC WHEN YOU HAVE TO BLAME SOMEONE ELSE FOR YOUR FAILURE.

I have been a professional UK coin dealer for 15 years and I can honestly say NGC haven't got a clue how to grade coins. I have had superb coins come back as details with 'obverse cleaned' or 'scratched' and I have seen other clearly scratched or cleaned coins given a grade. They have no idea how to grade English hammered coins and furthermore the Sheldon scale was never designed for this purpose. I purchased an expensive coin from another UK dealer which had been previously slabbed by NGC as AU58 and had been graded as part of the offering from a large auction, but then removed. At the point of sale my customer asked if I could get the coin graded and, obviously confident that it would grade, I agreed. NGC then insisted on giving it a details grade - reverse damage, and no amount of asking and providing evidence of images from the auction would change their mind, they also insisted on charging me for putting it in a details slab. So what are we paying for? Consistency - no, accuracy - no, a good service - no. If NGC themselves are unable grade the same coin as gradable and not gradeable there is no hope.

We'll never buy another NGC slab. They are supposed to protect your investment but when their QR code generates an error and the hologram practically wipes off the case, the value of your slabbed coin goes DOWN - and they don't seem to understand this concept, which is worrying. Stick with PCGS.
