Grading & certification

From submission to reviewed result.

Track what goes to grading, the profile and service selected, what comes back, what it cost, and how the result changed the coin—without making a third-party service a point of failure.

Result and fee lineage

01Identify

Let certification data accelerate intake, not control it.

Provider-assisted lookup can prefill supported data when authorized and available. The operator reviews the result, and manual entry remains available when a provider does not respond.

Provider-aware lookup

Recognize supported PCGS and NGC certification formats, normalize results, and return typed failures.

Duplicate warnings

Normalize certification numbers and surface existing matches before inventory is created or grading results are saved.

Server-side credentials

Keep provider keys outside the browser and use them only in permitted product workflows.

Manual fallback

Continue intake or receive work when a lookup is unavailable, ambiguous, rate-limited, or incomplete.

02Submit

Know what left, under which instructions, and when.

Build an internal submission record from eligible inventory, then snapshot the operational details that should not change with later settings edits.

PCGS and NGC profiles

Prefill member details, return shipping, non-sensitive payment references, signatures, and proven custom rates.

Service snapshots

Save the selected service and fee assumptions on the submission instead of looking up mutable settings later.

Inventory custody

Move submitted items into grading status, remember their previous resting state, and block conflicting claims.

Submission outputs

Create internal branded print, PDF, email, and CSV records without claiming to reproduce provider-official forms.

03Receive

Bring the result back into the same item history.

Record graded or no-grade outcomes, fees, returned items, and eligible corrections while preserving the link between the former and current state.

Editable result review

Review provider-enriched certification, service, and grade values before committing the receive decision.

Correct the latest eligible result with a reason and immutable before-and-after evidence.

Grading-result lineage

Keep certification, returned result, fee, and later realized-sale context connected to the inventory timeline.
