New NGCX 10-Point Grading

Since 1949 coins have been graded on the familiar Sheldon numeric scale of 1 to 70. To achieve the top grade 70, a coin must have no post-production imperfections at 5x magnification. The current 70-point grading scale for coins is not going away. Rather, NGC has recognized an opportunity to bring new collectors to the hobby by offering a 10-point scale for modern issue coins. The 10-point scale has long been the standard for most collectibles including comic books, sports cards, and trading cards. The 10-point system was introduced in 2003, coins released in 2023 and certified in perfect MS10 condition will be particularly sought after.
