PCGS And NGC
The PCGS and NGC (Professional Coin Grading Service and Numismatic Guarantee Corp, respectively) are the two companies that gold coin investors can rely on, to verify the numismatic value of their rare coins. Rare coins that have been evaluated by either or both of these companies are considered to be certified. A great many experienced long-term investors prefer to pay the added premium that certified coins command, as these investors know that their long-term rare coin investment is verified for authenticity, mint state grade, and precious metal content. Investors can log onto www.pcgs.com, or www.ngccoin.com, for the latest retail prices on rare, certified coins, as well as gold market updates, and other helpful research links to aid them in their rare coin investment research.
The PCGS and NGC have been in business since 1986, and 1987 respectively, and are greatly responsible for making rare coins more readily available on the global market, as well as largely ridding the industry of tampered coins or counterfeits. Some of the more popular PCGS and NGC certified coins include Double Eagle Coins like 22 Karat, $20 Saint Gaudens, or Lady Liberty’s. Other popular coins include gold Indian coins, as their smaller denominations of $2.5, $5, and $10 make them ideal for customizing a wide range of budgets. Indian Coins also make ideal candidates for physical possession, as their somber, dignified designs and historical significance, captivate the collective imaginations of investors and collectors worldwide. Investors should note that the aforementioned websites provide retail prices for certified coins, and that institutional discounts are available for household investors who transact with reputable, large-volume precious metal dealers, as opposed to local gold retailers.
