So I just bit the bullet and joined NCS and NGC in order to get a coin of mine conserved then graded. I received the coupon for 5 "free" conservations and grades and know I have to send all five in at once. My question is has anybody done this and can I send less than 5 to get conserved but 5 to get graded/slabbed by NGC? One more thing, with the coupon, all I have to pay is insurance and return shipping? THANKS!

if they are really rare or high price coins, then PCGS seems to get you more $$ when you sell them.

I already joined NCS/ NGC because I have a somewhat high dollar coin that needs conservation, PCGS doesn't have a conservation service do they?

You made the right choice with going with NCS to have it conserved.
To answer your question, yes you can send only one coin at a time to be conserved. You have to make sure of two things before you send the coin to be conserved. 1.) That it benefits the coin and 2.) That the coin is within the $3,000 limit.
When you signed up, which package did you go for? Because They offer one that gives you 5 coupons to have coins conserved and another that gives you 5 free grades. I don't believe there is a package that offers both.
As far as what you'll owe, I'm pretty sure it's only the shipping/insurance and return shipping/insurance.
What kind of coin are going to be sending in?

I have the premium plus level. The coupon states that after the five are submitted to be conserved, if they can be conserved, they'll do that then ship them to NGC to be graded and encapsulated. I'll have to look through the collection but the one I know I am sending is a 1922 no d LWC that may grade xf-au. How do I put a value on this coin because it jumps quite a bit from certain grades? What if it exceeds the stated value, do they just charge me more? Thanks |

what does it mean to have a coin conserved? what do they do with it?
All I have ever seen is graded coins from AG-MS

I just called a NGC dealer that I know to make sure with him, and he said (which I misinformed you early) that you would have to send all the coins you want to be conserved at once, whether that be one coin or five. Once that submission is used, it's used. He advised me strongly against having coins that were for the most part problem-free to be sent to be conserved just so they would be graded.
I did tell him about the 1922 Penny, how the possible value may be more than the limit and his suggestion was to put the declared value as something like $2500-$2750. That way it falls under the right categories.
Hopefully I answered all the questions!

I will have to study the submission forms closely. Maybe I can have two conserved and the other three (sitting at NCS)and just sent when the other to go to NGC. That make sense. Conserved means they remove surface contaminants, addressing visual detractions while protecting the coins original surfaces(per NCS)

Right, but apparently they won't just grade the extra three, they have to be conserved first then graded. I know, I know, it doesn't make sense, but that's how they want it.
