Our Authentication & Certification Process
A structured, secure process designed to ensure accuracy, protection, and complete transparency.
Every coin submitted to CCN follows a carefully managed process—from intake to final certification—ensuring reliable results and trusted handling at every stage.
Precision at Every Step
Our process is built to protect your coin while delivering accurate authentication and grading. Each stage is designed to maintain security, eliminate bias, and ensure consistent results collectors can trust.
Step-by-Step Certification Process
Step 1:
Receiving & Registration
Each submitted coin is carefully received, logged, and assigned a unique identification number. This ensures accurate tracking and security throughout the entire process.
Step 2:
Secure Handling & Storage
Coins are barcoded and stored in a controlled environment until they are ready for evaluation, maintaining their condition and ensuring proper handling.
Step 3:
Authentication & Grading
Professional numismatists independently evaluate each coin to confirm authenticity, determine condition, and classify its historical attributes.
Step 4:
Multi-Level Review
To ensure accuracy and consistency, multiple experts review the grading results before final approval, eliminating bias and maintaining standards.
Step 5:
Encapsulation
Once approved, the coin is sealed in a protective slab that preserves its condition and displays its certification details clearly.
Step 6:
Verification Record Creation
A secure digital record is created and linked to the coin’s unique certification number, allowing instant online verification.
Step 7:
Packaging & Return
Coins are carefully packaged, verified against submission records, and securely returned to the owner.
