Coin Grading Services in the UK: Why It’s Worth Getting Your Coins Graded
If you’ve ever wondered whether you should get your coins professionally graded, the answer is almost always yes — especially if you collect rare, historical, or investment-grade coins. Professional coin grading not only authenticates and protects your collection but also enhances its value, making your coins easier to sell and more appealing to buyers worldwide.
As an NGC-authorized dealer and PMG-authorized dealer in the UK, Pashiz Coins offers collectors and investors a reliable and cost-effective way to get their coins and banknotes graded by the most trusted grading companies in the world. Whether you’re looking for NGC coin grading or PMG note grading, our coin grading service helps you submit your items quickly, safely, and affordably.
What Is Coin Grading?
Coin grading is the process of professionally evaluating a coin’s authenticity, condition, and quality using a standardized scale — typically from 1 to 70, known as the Sheldon Scale. The higher the grade, the better the coin’s condition and, usually, the higher its market value.
Grading is performed by professional organizations such as NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Company) and PMG (Paper Money Guaranty). These companies employ trained numismatists and advanced technology to assess coins and banknotes accurately. Once graded, each coin is securely sealed in a protective holder with its grade, certification number, and unique barcode.
Why Coin Grading Matters
If you’re serious about coin collecting, getting your coins graded is one of the most valuable investments you can make. Here’s why:
1. Authenticity and Buyer Confidence
Grading ensures that your coin or note is genuine. With the increasing number of counterfeits on the market, buyers today place far more trust in coins graded by recognized authorities such as NGC or PMG.
A coin encapsulated in an NGC holder instantly tells potential buyers: this is authentic, verified, and accurately described.
2. Protection and Long-Term Preservation
Graded coins are sealed in tamper-evident, sonically sealed holders designed to prevent environmental damage. This protects your coins from scratches, oxidation, and moisture — helping to preserve their value for decades to come.
3. Objective and Consistent Grading
Everyone has an opinion on a coin’s condition — but grading by an independent company like NGC provides standardized, unbiased results. The consistency of NGC grading allows coins to be traded confidently around the world.
4. Enhanced Market Value
NGC-graded coins consistently achieve higher sale prices compared to ungraded coins. Buyers are willing to pay more for verified, authenticated, and professionally graded pieces because they eliminate uncertainty.
If you plan to sell your collection — whether privately or through an auction — graded coins attract more interest and competitive bids.
5. Easier to Sell or Auction
Coins graded by NGC or PMG are globally recognized and accepted by major auction houses and dealers. Having your coins graded improves liquidity, as it simplifies the selling process and assures buyers of the coin’s authenticity and grade.

Why Grade with Pashiz Coins?
When you use Pashiz Coins to submit your coins or notes for grading, you enjoy exclusive benefits that individual collectors don’t have when submitting directly to NGC or PMG.
✅ Up to 10% Cheaper Than Submitting Directly
Because we submit large volumes of coins and banknotes as an authorized NGC and PMG dealer, we receive preferred rates — and we pass those savings on to you. That means you can save up to 10% compared to submitting on your own.
✅ No Annual Membership Fees
Submitting coins directly to NGC requires an annual membership, which can be costly for casual collectors. When you grade through us, you don’t need a membership — we handle everything for you.
✅ Faster and More Efficient Service
We have a direct submission channel with NGC and PMG, allowing us to process submissions faster and more efficiently than standard members. Your coins reach the grading service quicker and are returned promptly.
✅ Professional Guidance
Not all coins are worth grading. Our experts can help you choose which pieces are most likely to benefit from professional certification, maximizing your investment and avoiding unnecessary costs.
✅ Zero Auction Fees for Graded Coins
If you choose to sell your graded coins in our online auctions, you’ll benefit from zero auction fees — meaning you keep 100% of your sale proceeds.
This unique offer makes grading through us not just convenient but also a smart business decision for collectors and resellers.
Should You Grade Every Coin?
Not necessarily. While grading adds value to most collectible or high-quality coins, it may not be economical for low-value or heavily circulated coins.
As a rule of thumb, consider grading coins that:
-
Have a market value of £50 or more
-
Are rare, historical, or gold and silver issues
-
Are in excellent condition or proof quality
-
Are coins you plan to sell or insure
Our team can help you evaluate your collection and identify which coins are worth grading for maximum benefit.
Coin Grading and Investment Value
For investors, professional coin grading provides transparency and security. Graded coins come with a serial number, grade, and authentication guarantee, making them recognized assets in the global numismatic market.
If you’re collecting coins as a long-term investment, NGC or PMG grading ensures that your portfolio retains both its integrity and liquidity. It’s the safest way to protect your investment and pass it down to future generations.
