London Coins also offer an optional service where we can recommend coins suitable for third party grading and encapsulation where we believe value is likely to be added to an auction realisation price if the coin went through this service, these will usually be exceptionally high grade English Milled coins. We can arrange suitable coins to be submitted to CGS - UK prior to and ready for auction inclusion, an additional charge of £11 is levied on the sale price but we will only recommend this service if we believe more than this amount will be added to the hammer price result.
