Independence and Disclosures

How The Diggin Dave maintains transparent, independent reference standards.

No institutional affiliation

The Diggin Dave is independent and is not affiliated with, endorsed by, or sponsored by Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS), Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC), the United States Mint, or the United States government. Third-party names are used only to identify reference standards or services.

Affiliate disclosure

Some equipment or resource links may be affiliate links. If a reader completes a qualifying transaction through one of those links, The Diggin Dave may earn a commission without changing the reader’s cost. This includes Amazon Associates links (Store ID: thediggindave-20) and eBay Partner Network links. Affiliate relationships do not determine database entries, condition estimates, or verdicts.

Advertising

Advertising is not currently active on this site, and there are no reserved advertising spaces. If advertising is activated in the future, it will be disclosed here and in the Privacy Policy.

Subscriptions and marketplace

Premium membership ($10.99/month or $99.99/year) unlocks Marketplace selling, full Grade-or-Not verdicts, a verified seller badge, and priority review. Marketplace listings are reviewed by our team before going live; no listing is faked and no sale is claimed that did not happen.

Values are estimates, not financial advice

Every dollar figure on this site is a researched collector estimate for the stated date, mint mark, variety, and grade — not a price, a promise, or financial advice. Actual worth varies with condition, demand, and the market on the day a coin changes hands.
