What does grading mean and is it important?
Grading is a vitally important professional evaluation of a coin’s condition, based on official standards of the American Numismatic Association (ANA). ICC’s ANA-trained grading staff upholds the strictest standards, hand-selecting and double-inspecting every coin, so that you get exactly the grade you’re paying for and nothing less.

How should coins be handled and stored?
Always hold a coin by its edges, over a soft surface, so it won’t be damaged if it falls. Try never to touch a coin on its obverse or reverse sides, since the oil in your skin can leave fingerprints. It’s recommended that you store coins in a dry place. We generally ship coins in protective envelopes or holders, which provide good permanent storage.
Please Note: Certified coins should never be removed from their cases and are not returnable once removed.
Special Notice on Silver Coins:
Most mint-state coins carry “bag marks.” These are minor abrasions on otherwise uncirculated coins, caused by contact between coins in a mint distribution bag. Bag marks are especially common on larger coins such as silver dollars. Some of the silver coin specimens you receive may also show minor toning. This is a natural effect of sulphur in the air, which chemically reacts to silver and tones coins’ surfaces. Be assured that this patina does not affect the coins’ value and quality. All of our coins are carefully inspected to insure that they are graded exactly as advertised.
