Both NGC and pcgs guarantee the authenticity of the coins they grade.  If you buy a coin in one of their slabs and it turns out to be fake they pay you the market value of the coin as if it was real.   That  would be most unfortunate  for them if a seiries of loaded coins were swept after they graded them.

They do not. They are attached as a whole piece w/ a peg at the bottom.
Looks like the peg is slightly glued to keep the anchored.
There is a small recess underneath that would fit maybe a small LED to light it up.
They are also numbered and signed by the artist (a little hard to see, but on the right side of the black piece)

Just FYI, I've been an investor in CLCT for a while now, which is the PCGS company, and their stock price has tanked as of late and they cut their dividend in half recently.  They're in trouble.  So my opinion is that it absolutely would not hurt for them to be approached by the crypto coin community to see about grading some of these great tokens (that's the difference in their eyes, these are not "coins").  I'm actually kind of surprised that they haven't jumped on board with this yet.  Usually if a competitor is making money from something, a la ANACS, a company will follow suit.

As I said, I'm not part of this community.  Have either PCGS or NGC issued any kind of guidance regarding this?  Has anyone approached them?

Physical crypto was never my thing, but for the brief years that I was somewhat of a coin collector I learned that ANACS is a 3rd tier grading company.  Their old slabs, the small white ones, were actually pretty, and the grading was pretty spot-on.  Then somehow those slabs morphed into these testicle-twisted monstrosities, which are apparently being still further degenerated in aesthetic quality as time goes on, and their reputation for accurate grading is swirling around in the same bowl.  Figures.

ICG?  If I recall correctly, that was one grading company coin collectors advised absolutely staying away from.  It's a company that's probably being run out of a school for the blind, that's how fucking off they have a reputation for being.  Man, if I were you guys I'd petition PCGS and NGC to start grading crypto coins.  They're the only ones who are really trusted in the traditional coin community, and their slabs don't look like they've been heat-warped.

Just my opinion--and it's obviously one from someone who doesn't collect physical crypto--I'd probably keep the coins raw rather than send them in for grading, at least until a more reputable company can do it.  As wheelz1200 has pointed out, there's that potential for theft once the coin is out of your hands, and a lot of these I would imagine have very high "intrinsic value" attached to them in the form of being loaded with bitcoin/doge/whatever.  I'd be a bit paranoid as well.

I believe you; they probably dropped it and said "fuck it".  To my eyes and from that picture, it doesn't look that bad.  I've seen MS69 coins with more flaws than that, so I've come to believe that a coin that was never intended to be circulated has to be extremely defective in order to earn anything lower than that.  

I'm sure the graders don't have all the time in the world to spend on any given coin and don't take any more time than they have to to examine one.

I was wondering what makes this so special? What is the serial number on the $1 bill? Do you have anymore of these? Did you think of taking these to a dealer to get appraised? Would you trade for a kennedy 1964 in brilliant uncirculated condition?

Hmm dont know if that exists.  I know you can check the coins here

But the chips i havent seen anything as far as numbers go

I'm glad it arrived! I was just thinking that it'd be difficult to return your silver bar if there were complications with the postal service. (picture of part of your bar below)

LMFAO, sorry, that was odd, I thought  ChiBitCTy had corrected his bid!
