ICG Now Authenticates, Grades and Encapsulates

Problem Coins

            Effective immediately, ICG will authenticate, grade and encapsulate problem coins, tokens and medals that qualify for any level of general coin grading service currently provided.

            ICG will accept submissions of problem coins and, unless the coin does not qualify for one of our general grading services or is identified as having questionable authenticity, your coin will be encapsulated in a holder and returned with an annotated description of the problem. Gone is the disappointment of the “body bag” and those $5.00 charges to inform you that your coins do not qualify for encapsulation.

            The categories we will annotate on a problem coin include, but are not limited to, identifying whether a coin has an altered surface or has experienced artificial toning, cleaning, corrosion, counting wheel damage, environmental damage, or other forms of damage.  In addition, we will examine and encapsulate ex-jewelry, holed, plugged, various forms of repair, filed rims and edges, scratches, tooling, whizzing, polishing and graffiti on coins.

            Initiation of our problem coin program represents the continuation and expansion of ICG’s ongoing effort to provide the most comprehensive, reputable and independent coin grading service in the industry. We thank you for your continued patronage and look forward to fulfilling all of your coin grading needs.

Respectfully,

The ICG family!
