NCS Coins on Teletrade

Responding to the popularity of NCS's Authentic Only and Details Graded coins, Teletrade will feature NCS-graded exclusive auctions on a regular basis in its new "Sunday Collector Auctions."

Teletrade, the leader in internet auctions, is now accepting consignments of NCS certified coins for the inaugural auction which will be held on April 27, 2003. Consignments will be accepted for this auction until April 5. Coins already certified by NCS can be consigned to Teletrade by submitting them to: NCS c/o Teletrade at 27 Main Street, Kingston, NY 12401.

To have coins certified by NCS and subsequently consigned to Teletrade, use the Teletrade submission form and send the coins to Teletrade c/o NCS at PO Box 4760, Sarasota, FL 34230. Submission forms can be found at www.teletrade.com/ncs.

"We are very pleased that Teletrade is responding to the popularity of NCS certified coins by holding NCS-graded auctions on a regular basis," says Brian Silliman, Assistant Director of Operations for NCS. "Demand for NCS certified coins has grown exponentially since we started offering both the Authentic Only and Details Graded services. Teletrade is providing a great venue for collectors and dealers to trade coins that we have certified."

Fees to submit raw coins for NCS certification and subsequent Teletrade consignment start at $6 per coin. Teletrade does not require that the submitter send money with the coins; rather they will deduct grading fees from the sale proceeds.

Submission Tip: Send Colonials Through NCS Certification

Judging the condition of American colonial coins can be difficult. It is often hard to tell with any certainty which coins will grade at NGC or be returned in a "body bag."

By submitting your colonials through NCS certification, we will prescreen your coins ensuring only those that will grade at NGC are submitted to them, saving you valuable grading fees. Any coin not suitable for NGC grading will be certified by NCS, while non-problem coins will be transferred to NGC on your behalf.

Submitting colonials to NCS ensures all of your genuine coins are certified by NGC or NCS, saving you time and money.

For more information on submitting coins to NCS, contact NCS customer service.
