New NGC Holder Enters Next Phase of Release
Sep 30 at 8:08pm
The next generation of the NGC coin holder, featuring enhanced security features, is scheduled for wide-scale release beginning Wednesday, October 1, 2008. Since late-August, this holder has been used for selected World coin and Walkthrough submissions. Following its very successful month-long initial release, the new holder exterior will now be used for all submissions.
While the new exterior and new label will be used for all submissions, the EdgeView® Holder, which enables viewing of a coin’s edge, will be used only for US Walkthrough and US Express tier submissions and all World tier submissions. At NGC’s discretion it will be used on additional grading tiers. The EdgeView® Holder is set for full-scale release for all service lines in the first quarter of 2009. In the interim, the standard NGC format holder interior will be used with high-security outer casing and label.
