The standard for collectible grading in the Middle East.
IGA was founded on a single conviction: that every coin, medal, and token deserves an evaluation as rigorous as its history. We bring international grading discipline to a regional market that has waited for it.
Where accuracy defines value, and every grade is earned.
We exist to give collectors, dealers, and museums an authority they can trust — backed by science, sealed in tamper-evident holders, and verifiable on demand.
Built in Egypt. Calibrated to the world.
Egypt's numismatic heritage is one of the richest in the world — from pharaonic tokens to Ottoman pieces, from royal-era coinage to modern republic issues. Yet collectors here have long lacked a local authority built to internationally benchmarked grading standards.
IGA was founded to close that gap. We combine internationally benchmarked grading methodology with deep regional expertise, operating from Cairo with a global outlook. Every submission passes through a structured workflow — examination, grading, quality control, encapsulation, and imaging — before a certificate is ever issued.
We are not the first grading service in the world. We are the first built specifically for the Middle East — and the first that the region's collectors can call home.
Three principles. No exceptions.
A grade is only as good as the system behind it.
Multi-Grader Review
Every coin is independently evaluated by multiple specialists. No single opinion determines a grade.
Tamper-Evident Holders
Ultrasonically sealed. NFC chip embedded. Any tampering is immediately visible.
Public Verification
Every certificate is queryable in our public registry. Forever, free, no account needed.
Grade Guarantee
We stand behind our grades. If we err, we make it right — that's our written policy, not a marketing line.
Every coin passes through five hands and three machines.
Our grading workflow is structured, repeatable, and documented. Here's what happens between the moment your coin arrives and the moment it's sealed in an IGA holder.

Specialists examine each coin under stereo microscopy.
