At Lipton Coins Fine Art & Antiques, we specialize in helping collectors, investors, and estate clients in Beverly Hills and the greater Los Angeles area make informed decisions—saving time and avoiding unnecessary grading expenses.
What Is Coin & Currency Grading?
Coin and paper money grading determines the condition, authenticity, and market value of your collectibles. Professional grading companies use standardized systems like the Sheldon Scale (1–70) to assign a grade.
Once graded, coins and currency are sealed in secure, tamper-proof holders, increasing their:
- Marketability
- Buyer confidence
- Long-term value
Major Coin & Currency Grading Companies
Collectors in Beverly Hills, West Los Angeles, Century City, and Santa Monica rely on these industry-leading services:

Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS)
Known for strict grading and premium market value

Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC)
Globally recognized and widely trusted

Paper Money Guaranty (PMG)
Specialists in paper currency authentication and grading
These services involve submission fees, insurance, shipping costs, and turnaround times, which can add up quickly—especially for high-end collections.
Why Professional Grading Matters
For collectors and investors in Beverly Hills, certification:
- Confirms authenticity
- Establishes a verified grade
- Enhances resale value
- Provides liquidity in high-end markets
However, not every coin or note is worth submitting for grading.
Avoid Costly Grading Mistakes
Many collectors spend money grading items that:
- Do not meet expected grade levels
- Show signs of cleaning, damage, or wear
- Lack sufficient value to justify grading fees
This is especially important in a premium market like Beverly Hills, where expectations—and grading costs—are higher.
