Collectors and investors with certified silver coins often seek trusted partners to sell their coins at competitive rates. At DEIGOLDANDSILVERCOINS, we purchase a wide range of certified silver coins, including both bullion and proof coins from across the globe. Coins that have undergone professional certification hold additional value, and our team ensures you receive a fair, transparent price for your certified silver holdings.
Certification from the Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (NGC) or the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) confirms the condition and authenticity of your silver coins. Certified coins often achieve higher market value because the grading guarantees their quality and preservation. At DEIGOLDANDSILVERCOINS, we buy certified coins directly from collectors, carefully evaluating their grading and condition to offer accurate purchase prices.
The NGC, founded in 1987, is an independent third-party coin grading service. Its 30 full-time coin certifiers do not buy or sell coins commercially, ensuring impartial grading. The NGC has certified over 33 million coins and serves as the official grading service for the American Numismatic Association and Professional Numismatists Guild.
Certified coins undergo a thorough three-step process before grading is complete:
The Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) was established in 1985 by a group of the nation’s leading coin experts to address inconsistencies in coin verification and grading. Before PCGS, collectors and investors often relied on varying definitions of coin value, making it difficult to confidently assess rare coins.
PCGS uses the Sheldon Scale to assign grades to coins, including PCGS Certified American Silver Eagles, providing collectors and investors with assurance that the coins they purchase meet strict grading standards. The PCGS backs its certifications with a clear guarantee:
“The PCGS Guarantee of Grade and Authenticity is fundamental to our third-party grading concept. The cash-back policy ensures the accuracy of any coin grade as long as it remains in its tamper-evident holder. Owners benefit from PCGS’s Guarantee of Grading Accuracy and Authenticity, and each PCGS Authorized Dealer accepts grades assigned by PCGS.”
To protect the condition of graded coins, PCGS encapsulates each coin in a durable, tamper-evident plastic slab, preserving it from damage and ensuring it maintains its quality for decades.
There are no restrictions on which coins can be certified by NGC or PCGS. Both bullion and proof coins are eligible, and all coins go through the same certification process. The only difference between bullion and proof coin certifications lies in labeling, as outlined in previous sections. Below are some examples of coins commonly submitted for certification:
This list represents some of the coins most frequently certified and does not encompass every product available in the DEIGOLDANDSILVERCOINS catalog. It highlights coins offered in both their original mint condition and as certified coins submitted by mints or authorized dealers.
Before the formation of NGC and PCGS, coin value was largely determined by its physical condition, or grade, but there was no universal grading system or consistent standard. Before the 1980s, collectors categorized coins broadly into three groups:
This system proved inadequate, as some coins within the same category could vary significantly in quality. In 1948, numismatist Dr. William Sheldon introduced the Sheldon Scale, assigning grades from 1 to 70. In theory, a coin graded 70 would be worth 70 times a coin graded 1.
As grading evolved, NGC and PCGS refined the Sheldon Scale for modern coin certification. They recognized that minor differences between coins, even within the same category, could dramatically affect market value. For instance, a Mint State 65 coin is generally worth more than a Mint State 64, though these differences are nearly impossible to detect without expert evaluation.
Today, both NGC and PCGS use the 1-to-70 Sheldon Scale for all graded coins. Each grade begins with a strike type, which includes:
These strike types reflect varying levels of wear or perfection in a coin’s surfaces, designs, and markings. Common certified coins in the DEIGOLDANDSILVERCOINS catalog include the following designations:
These grading standards ensure collectors and investors can confidently assess coin quality and market value with precision.
