Economy grading is cheaper because NGC, with economy grading at cheaper fee, does not grade the coins Strike or Surface Qualities.
Also, under economy grading, NGC does not identify any of the coins damages (scratches, flan flaws, clipping, dents, bent, etc.).
Full Service grading costs a lot more, but I know it is definitely worth the extra money!
Full grading is the ONLY NGC grading that fully discloses the coins TRUE quality AND the ONLY service we use from NGC.
Full grading gives the buyer FULL disclosure about the coin BEFORE the buyer buys the coin and finds out about these flaws later. And do you know what? That is the way it ought to be done!
We specialize in High Grade and Scarce ancient coins that possess extraordinary Eye Appeal. And ONLY coins that are Fully Disclosed NGC Graded and Encapsulated If you are looking for the finest examples for your collection ... you're at the right place.
NOTE: ALL INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING IS THROUGH eBay's GLOBAL SHIPPING PROGRAM - Will not ship to China
