Title: NGC submissions Sydney
Post by: nealeffendi on July 10, 2014, 08:22:22 PM
I have a single raw coin (hammered Ottoman gold coin) that I want to get slabbed in a NGC holder. Any recommendations?
Preferably a dealer in/close to Sydney for pick up/drop off (it is a priceless coin that I won't trust to Australia Post)
What is the approximate cost that the dealer will charge me for the service for a higher value coin?

Please show us a nice picture of the raw coin.
(it won't help you get it graded but I just like looking at interesting gold coins).

Hi Trout.
I still don't have a digital camera so no image available.
I did some online searching and it seems there is no NGC agent in Australia (let alone Sydney). Nearest is somewhere like Singapore or HK.
So I'll send it to PCGS with my first batch, but I'll wait until I get a good digital camera (was going to use my tax refund but had a $600 power bill to pay, hard to get youngsters to turn off heaters) (although I also blew a grand on some very nice coins:yahoo:) so by the time I get the funds, get the camera and then learn how to use it properly I think it will be Christmas before I'm happy with the images I take of the unslabbed coins.
