Coin GradingSpecial Instructions for Submitting Platinum 10th Anniversary Eagles to NGC
In celebration of the 10th Anniversary of the Platinum American Eagle Bullion Program, the US Mint is issuing a special commemorative set. The Mint will be selling a limited edition two-coin platinum set. This set includes a proof 2007 W $50 Platinum American Eagle and, for the first time in the history of the program, a reverse proof 2007 W $50 Platinum American Eagle.
Coins from these sets will be pedigreed as EAGLE 10TH ANNIVERSARY. A special NGC commemorative label will also be available. Because the regular proof version of this coin is available individually from the US Mint, special instructions must be followed in order for coins to qualify for this pedigree. Coins must remain in the sealed shipping boxes used by the US Mint, and the entire unopened package must be forwarded on to NGC for certification. NGC must open these boxes in order for the coins to qualify for the EAGLE 10TH ANNIVERSARY. The reverse proof version does not require this special handling, and will be eligible for the EAGLE 10TH ANNIVERSARY label and pedigree even if submitted without its original packaging.
US Mint coin boxes and certificates will be returned to the submitters. Note that the Mint’s shipping boxes are not returned.
Additionally, these coins must be submitted using the Modern Special Tier or higher level service, and submitters requesting this designation and special label must submit these coins on their own submission invoice. The five coin minimum for Modern Special Tier will be waived for submissions of Platinum 10th Anniversary Eagles, and the 10th Anniversary coins cannot be mixed with other coins to qualify for this pedigree.
Submissions of Platinum 10th Anniversary Eagles must be sent to the NGC offices in Sarasota, FL. Due to the special handling requirements, NGC will not accept submissions of these sets at trade shows.

Dear NGC,
I am fairly new to collecting coins. So far i’m not familiar with all of the coin collecting quirks involved with the grading process. I purchased the Platinum 10th anniversary set with hopes of having it graded. Now I am seeing that the regular proof coin can not be graded with the special seal due to it being opened. I deem this to be unfair since common sense say’s they come as a set. Who would want to replace one with another coin when there is no advantage in doing so unless that person has a full knowledge of being able to determine a grade of a coin. Is there another grading service offering the 10th anniversary coin slabs to allow me grading of the complete set?
