PCGS American Platinum Eagle
One popular way of collecting the American Platinum Eagle coin series is to acquire bullion or collector coins which are graded and encapsulated by a third party coin grading service. The two leading services are PCGS and NGC. Collectors may seek to assembled PCGS & NGC American Platinum Eagle coins by year or a complete set across one or more denominations.
Both grading services will grade and encapsulate both the collectible versions of the coins, as well as the bullion versions of the coins. Because the coins are never circulated, nearly all examples will grade mint state. This narrows the focus of most collectors to the highest graded examples.
The highest grades awarded by PCGS are PCGS MS70 for uncircualted or bullion coins or PCGS PR70DCAM for proof coins. The highest grades awarded by NGC are NGC MS 70 for uncirculated or bullion coins or NGC PF 70 Ultra Cameo for proof coins.
Collectors can send coins directly to PCGS or NGC for grading if they are the member of each services' available program for collectors. Coins can alternately be submitted for grading by PCGS or NGC authorized dealers. Finally, collectors can simply acquire coins already graded and encapsulated by the service from dealers or other collectors.
