They do ancient Greek and Roman coins. They grade world coins including Chinese but I don't know how far back they go. Ask them. You could find a competent ancient Chinese coins dealer that might examine a coin, give you a certificate of authenticity for a fee though that's not the same as grading/slabbing. Here's one on ebay, NGC goes back at least this far: Edited by livingwater 05/17/2026 12:14 am Report this Post to the Staff

The service is only available through their Shanghai office.

I would suggest starting on ebay in the appropriate categories and see what services are being offered for sale, then following that to their websites. -----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
