Sell PCGS Coins, NGC Coins and ANACS Coins

Authorized PCGS, NGC & ANACS Dealer — We Buy Certified and Raw Coins

Three certified coin slabs, one from each major grading service: an 1884 Morgan silver dollar graded PCGS MS65, a 1922 Peace silver dollar graded NGC MS63 and an 1880-S Morgan silver dollar graded ANACS MS64 Cameo PL

Your coins have already been authenticated and graded by PCGS, NGC or ANACS, so the hard part is done. What matters now is selling them to a buyer who knows what each grade is really worth in today’s market. American Rarities buys certified (slabbed) U.S. and world coins from all three major grading services — and raw coins too — from a single key-date slab to a complete registry set. We have been buying rare coins since 1990 and have purchased over $400 million in coins and collections.

We are an authorized PCGS, NGC and ANACS dealer, so we work with certified coins every day. We also buy coins certified by off-brand grading companies. To start, text a list or photos to 720-600-4740, email staff@americanrarities.com, or use the form below. You will get a free, no-obligation appraisal, usually within 24 hours.

PCGS, NGC and ANACS: The Gold Standard of Coin Grading & Authentication

There are many coin grading services, but PCGS, NGC and ANACS are widely regarded as the “big three” for rare coin authentication and grading. Read our guide to the differences between PCGS, NGC and ANACS to see how they compare.

The big three grade to more exacting standards than most other services. They screen for cleaning, environmental damage and intentional alterations, and those factors have to be part of any calculation of a rare coin’s true value. Every certificate can be checked online with the grading service, which matters because counterfeit holders exist; see our case study on how to spot a fake PCGS certified coin.

Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS)
PCGS is one of the most respected names in coin grading, known for its strict standards and secure, tamper-evident holders. PCGS graded coins are in strong demand with collectors and dealers.

Understanding the Value of Graded Coins

Graded coins are sealed in tamper-evident holders by third-party grading services such as PCGS, NGC and ANACS. The holder confirms the coin is genuine and records its grade on the 1 to 70 Sheldon scale explained in this overview of coin grading, which gives buyers and sellers confidence. Several factors drive the value of a graded coin:

Rarity: how scarce the coin is in its grade, often shown by population reports. Rarer coins command higher prices.
Grade: the assigned grade reflects condition, and one grade point can make a large difference in price for many dates.
Eye appeal: within the same grade, a coin with exceptional luster, strike or toning can be worth more.
Market demand: collector preferences and current market trends can raise or lower prices for certain series.

To research a popular series first, see our Morgan silver dollar price guide or learn how coin authentication works.

How We Price Certified Coins

We price certified coins using every reliable source available, including the Certified Coin Dealer Newsletter, also known as the Blue Sheet. We are also members of the Certified Coin Exchange (CCE), the dealer network whose bids help generate the Blue Sheet. We also check the NGC price guide, auction prices realized for PCGS and NGC coins, population reports and current market selling prices. That is how we make fair offers on everything from common-date certified silver dollars to rare U.S. gold coins.

Coins Graded by Other Services

Do you have graded coins certified by an off-brand grading service other than PCGS, NGC or ANACS? We can help you find their true numismatic value and make you a legitimate offer to buy them. Our buyers are expert graders who buy and sell all types of rare coins every day, which gives them the experience to evaluate each coin on its own merits, whatever the label says.

Selling Certified Coins: Quick Answers

Do I need to send my coins in before I get an offer?

No. For most certified coins, the grading service, grade and certification number are enough for a preliminary offer, because each certificate can be looked up with PCGS, NGC or ANACS. We confirm the final offer when we receive and examine the coins.

Should I crack coins out of their holders or resubmit them before selling?

Leave them as they are. Breaking a holder removes the grade, and resubmitting costs time and fees with no guaranteed upgrade. We can tell you if any coin is worth a second look.

Do you buy coins in older holders or from other grading services?

Yes. We buy coins in older PCGS, NGC and ANACS holders, and coins graded by other companies, which we evaluate on their own merits.
