in May 2004. Before that, we operated under the username directcoin and
specialized in Gold and Silver Bullion Sales for several years. It just
made good sense for us to expand and produce our own silver bars.

Is there a guarantee on NGC Coins? NGC has a written guarantee that coins graded by them are a certain
grade. You can view this guarantee here:
http://ngccoin.com/services/writtenguaranty.asp It is important that you understand that this guarantee of grade of
each coin sold is made by NGC and Not by Paradise Mint, Inc. On occasion,
we will have a customer that feels that a coin they purchased has been
misgraded. Please note that in a situation like this that Paradise Mint,
Inc does not exchange out coins. Doing so would undermine the NGC grading
and quality control process.
There is a process in which we will send the coin back to NGC on your
behalf for what is called an "Appearance Review" in which the coin will
be re-examined. From this process, we rarely see any change in grades of
a coin. Very few buyers fully understand the grading process.
There is a book available from Whitman Books on grading of NGC coins.
If you would like to learn more about grading, I am sure you can find this
book from a seller on ebay.
Some common misconceptions in grading are:
A coin that grades 69 can't have a small nick or blemish in it. To a
trained eye, a coin that grades 69 you can almost always find one small
visible blemish in the coin. In modern coins, that is the main difference
we see between a 69 and 70.
A coin that grades 69 or 70 can't have toning on it. Toning is a natural
process. Even inside an NGC holder, a coin still can continue to tone.
Although the NGC holder does significantly reduce this chance.
