We suggest you to list your listings with a format similar to this:

2020 Perth Mint 1oz Swan Silver NGC PF 70 Brown Label

You may wish to list each separate graded coin as a separate listing.

Here are some other example suggested formatted titles:

2020 Sovereign NGC PF 70 Brown Label
2020 1oz Panda Silver NGC MS 69 Brown Label
2020 Sovereign NGC PF 70 Blue Label (Early Releases)
2020 Sovereign NGC PF 70 ER (Early Releases)
2020 Sovereign NGC PF 70 FR 

2020 Sovereign PGCS PF 70 
2020 Sovereign NGC PF 69 First Strike
2020 Sovereign NGC MS 70 FDOI (First Day of Issue)

You may of course wish to use a different format for the title, the above is just a suggestion :) 



For those who are new to graded coins

The NGC and PCGS are both considered to be the top tier grading companies within the industry. Some collectors prefer NCG and some prefer PCGS and some collectors collect both. Their grading system is essential the same, with a 70 being the highest. For modern proof coins most collectors like to collect a 69 or 70, for older coins or circulating coins much lower grades are acceptable. 

Most modern coins will likely be either a MS (Mint State) so bullion coins for example, or PF (Proof). A lot of modern proofs also have a UC (Ultra Cameo) / DCAM (Deep Cameo)* finish, which basically means that they are very reflective, this finish is achieved by the methods used when they strike the proof coin. 

*both UC and DCAM are the same, UC is the terminology assigned by NGC, and DCAM is the terminology assigned by PCGS

How the NGC coin grading system works

How the PCGS grading system works

 

BN  =  Brown PF  =  Proof
CA  =  Cameo PL  =  Prooflike
DPL  =  Deep Prooflike RB  =  Red Brown
FB  =  Full Split Bands RD  =  Red
FBL  =  Full Bell Lines SP  =  Specimen
FH  =  Full Head UC  =  Ultra Cameo
FT  =  Full Torch 5FS  =  Five Full Steps
MS  =  Mint State 6FS  =  Six Full Steps
