Companies

CCG is a group of independent companies focused on the impartial, independent, and expert certification and grading of collectibles.


Numismatic Guaranty Corporation

NGC is the world’s leading and largest third-party grading company. These coins are securely encapsulated within the innovative and industry-leading NGC holder – the same holder rigorously tested and implemented by the Smithsonian to preserve and protect their most valuable coins. Once encapsulated, these coins can be showcased with NGC's Photo Proof and historical documentation. And for coins that may have been adversely affected by storage or the environment, NGC's independent affiliate, Numismatic Conservation Services (NCS), can help bring out a coin’s original beauty and detail while simultaneously prolonging its life. NGC is proud to be the Official Grading Service of both the Professional Numismatists Guild (PNG) and the American Numismatic Association (ANA).

NGC's dominance in coin certification is paralleled by its commitment to numismatic education and resources, including the NGC Registry, which enables collectors to register and display their collections with other collectors, VarietyPlus™, the NGC Coin Encyclopedia, Community Message Boards and free public access to the NumisMedia price guide, the leading independent price guide for the hobby.


Numismatic Conservation Services
http://www.ncscoin.com
Founded in February 2001, Numismatic Conservation Services, LLC (NCS) is devoted to the growth and preservation of numismatics.  As a leading authority in numismatic conservation, NCS experts are uniquely qualified to provide professional conservation services for dealers and collectors alike. With a pledge of integrity, impartiality and responsibility, NCS provides a service that serves to expand and enrich the hobby. The selection of NCS as the official conservation service of the American Numismatic Association is further assurance of the integrity and quality of NCS services.

NCS accepts for evaluation all certified or raw coins, tokens and medals. NCS can remove contaminants such as PVC, soils, tarnish, carbon spots, verdigris and encrustation from the surface. NCS does not perform repairs or mechanical alterations of any kind. Removing detrimental material from the surface of an item may dramatically improve its appearance and eye appeal. This service is designed to further preserve the originality of the material only and prevent the damage that can result from contamination that is left untreated.

The NCS facilities were designed by conservation experts to provide an ideal environment for performing numismatic conservation procedures. With an advanced water filtration unit and specially designed ventilation system, NCS utilizes the necessary equipment to insure professional results.
