Brass coins roc Valued Member United States 107 Posts	Posted 09/20/2025 4:10 pm So I recently submitted a new variety to NGC, I thought they would automatically assign a discovery label but they did not. They said they assign discovery at there discretion. Well they offer discovery as a pedigree you can pay for so how are you supposed to know if you should just order the pedigree or let them assign it. They are the ones who determine if discovery is appropriate right. Report this Post to the Staff

The TPGs will attribute... somethings NGC & PCGS use specific references ANACS & ICG will attribute almost anything in any reference they can get their hands on. No clue re CACG But the key is it has to already be in a reference. If you submitted to VV and received the coin back with a letter saying it was the discovery piece (new variety), well, see above... -----Burton 50+ year / Life / Emeritus ANA member (joined 12/1/1973) Life member: Numismatics International, CONECA Member: TNA, FtWCC, NETCC, EveryCountry (online) coin club Owned by three cats and a wife of 40+ years (joined 1983) Author: 3rd Edition of the Sample Slabs book, https://www.sampleslabs.info/ Report this Post to the Staff
Brass coins roc Valued Member United States 107 Posts	Posted 09/26/2025 7:46 pm Believe it or not, that's not so much true now a days.I sent a couple of coins to ICG for attribution, the coins were not listed in the CPG, and they straight graded them. So I contacted James (VV)and he said to me, now you know, Anacs, and ICG, won't grade anything that's not listed in the CPG. ICG is trying to repair there image, so there being very careful about what and how they grade for now. Anacs is trying to keep there somewhat repaired image since they moved up the gradi.ng tier. It's rough out there right now. Report this Post to the Staff
