Kraken?s Treasure may ship the coin to PCGS, ANACS or NGC at its discretion to determine whether the coin is genuine. The buyer is responsible for all costs associated with grading and shipping if the coin is found to be genuine by PCGS, ANACS, or NGC. If the coin is deemed not genuine, Kraken?s Treasure will refund the purchase price, including shipping and grading costs. Genuineness refers to the authenticity of the coin, including its denomination, metal composition, and proper minting authority. Genuineness does not include the coin?s grade. Coin grading is a subjective opinion provided by the cataloger or a third-party grading service. It is the bidder's responsibility to assess the condition and value of the coin or lot.
