If you’re serious about your coin collection, chances are you’ve heard of PCGS grading. But when is it the right time to grade, and why does it matter?
Understanding the purpose and process behind PCGS grading can help you make informed decisions about your collection.
Why PCGS grading matters
- Verified authenticity: PCGS is globally recognised. Their holders remove doubt for buyers.
- Market confidence: A PCGS coin often commands higher resale value.
- Long-term protection: Coins are slabbed in tamper-evident holders with barcoding and tracking.
When to consider grading
- Rare or key-date coins: Even small flaws can mean big differences in value.
- Investment purposes: Third-party grading makes your coins more liquid in the marketplace.
- Heirlooms or estate planning: Graded coins simplify valuation and transfer.
Tips before submitting for grading
- Don’t clean your coins: This can lower the grade.
- Pre-screen your coins: Not all coins will benefit from grading. We offer a free pre-assessment at Roxbury’s to help you decide.
