PCGS Restoration

Pricing & Policies

• General Submissions:  The restoration fee is 3% of the value of the coin in its final grade (minimum of 10€) plus the grading fee based upon the declared value of the coin. PCGS will determine all fees once the order is finalized.
• 10€ evaluation fee  – If PCGS determines the coin(s) will not benefit from restoration, nor should be restored, the coin(s) will be submitted for grading. Coins that are not restorable will be charged a fee of $10 per coin and then sent for grading. For coins that complete the grading process, standard grading fees (based on the selected service) apply plus the evaluation fee.
• Modern Service: (1960 to date, maximum value 300€ per coin): 28€ per coin which includes the restoration and grading fee.
• For coins that require the use of an oversized holder, there is an additional 10€ per coin.
• Final cost of the submission cannot be determined until coins have completed the restoration and grading process; consequently, the submission form costs will be estimated using the declared value for each coin.
• Please be advised that fees exclude VAT.
• Restoration fees can be paid by the following methods of payments: Bank Wire Transfer, Paypal or Credit Card.
