NGC Services & Fees
Services Terms & Conditions Submission FormsScroll below to see the NGC grading and conservation tiers and services available for submissions to Certified Collectibles Group — International Hong Kong Limited (CCG Hong Kong). You must be a CCG Hong Kong member to submit. Not a member? Learn more >
A $15 (USD) handling fee per submission form applies to all submissions. All fees and maximum values are in US Dollars. If you request that your coins be shipped to NGC in the USA for grading, fees include round trip shipping and insurance between CCG Hong Kong and NGC.
Occasionally there may be a delay on world coins as extra research is required on more esoteric items. A $5 fee per collectible will apply if a complete description (including the appropriate catalog number for most tokens and medals) is not provided.
Turnaround times vary based on volume and the amount of research required. Turnaround times are approximate and not guaranteed.
For non-bulk submissions, the maximum number of coins per submission form is 50. Use multiple submission forms as needed. For bulk submissions, the minimum number of coins per submission form is 100 and the maximum is 200.

Upon request, NGC examines coins for recognized varieties and assigns an appropriate attribution. Also choose a grading tier according to coin value and desired turnaround. If you would like a coin already graded by NGC to be reviewed for a variety, do not select a grading tier. See NGCcoin.hk/varietyplus for a complete list of varieties we recognize. The VarietyPlus fee applies when requested regardless of whether NGC determines the coin to be a recognized variety.

A pedigree can be added to the certification label to indicate a coin’s past or present ownership. NGC must receive sufficient evidence to confirm the requested pedigree. Examples of evidence include photographic records from an auction catalog or a sealed flip / holder from the original collection or auction house. Recognition of pedigrees is at NGC’s sole discretion; the Pedigree fee applies when requested regardless of whether NGC determines the coin to have a recognized pedigree. To add a pedigree to a coin already encapsulated in an NGC holder, also select an applicable NGC ReHolder service. See NGCcoin.hk/Pedigrees for complete information.
(USD) Tier Fee + $5
If you disagree with a grade previously assigned by NGC, you may submit the coin for review for a higher grade. The coin must be intact in its NGC holder. Choose a grading tier according to the coin’s value and the tier requirements. Coins are graded according to NGCʼs grading standards, and a higher grade is not guaranteed. Fees are not refunded if a higher grade is not received. A coin submitted for ReGrade will be removed from its NGC holder by NGC staff and encapsulated with a new NGC holder, label and certification number, even if the grade does not change. All coins submitted under ReGrade are subject to the terms and conditions of the NGC Guarantee. In the unlikely event that the grade is determined to be lower through ReGrade, the ReGrade will be converted into an Appearance Review under the NGC Guarantee.
(USD) Included in Tier Fee
Review of PCGS-holdered coins for NGC certification. Coins will be removed from their holders and encapsulated by NGC only if NGC determines that the coins will receive an NGC grade that is the same grade or higher than the grade assigned by PCGS. If you would like your PCGS-holdered coin certified by NGC even if NGC determines that it will receive a lower numeric grade, specify ANY in the CrossOver Minimum Grade column of the NGC Submission Form. If you would like your PCGS-holdered coin certified by NGC even if NGC determines that it will receive an NGC Details grade (or a lower numeric grade), specify DETAILS in the CrossOver Minimum Grade column of the NGC Submission Form. You may not request a minimum grade that is higher than the grade that is on the PCGS holder. Coins holdered by other grading services are not eligible for CrossOver and must be removed from their holders and submitted raw (not holdered), or they may be submitted in their holders if they are accompanied by NGC’s Consent to Remove Coin(s) from Holder(s) Form. Fees are not refunded if the coin is not encapsulated by NGC. For more information about CrossOver, click here.
(USD) Included in Tier Fee
All US or world tokens and medals struck 1990 to present, both private and official, can be submitted under Modern tier or higher. US or world tokens struck before 1990, both private and official, must go under Economy tier or higher. Esoteric pieces, particularly those submitted without documentation, may not be encapsulated and instead returned as Ineligible Type. See NGCcoin.hk/tokens for a complete list of accepted US and world types.
