NGC Price Guide Scraper — US Coin Values by Grade

Scrape retail coin values from the NGC Price Guide for US coins, broken out by grade. For every coin (series → year/mint → variety) you get the NGC-published dollar value at each grade in the grading scale — from circulated grades (G, VG, F, VF, XF, AU) up through Mint State (MS-60 … MS-70) and Proof (PF) grades, including + and star (*) designations.

PRICE GUIDE, not population. This actor returns NGC's estimated dollar values by grade. It is not the NGC Census / population report (how many coins exist at each grade). If you need populations, use an NGC population scraper instead.

What you get

One record per coin, keyed to the coin's NGC coin id, with a grades object mapping each grade label to its value in USD.

Input

Field	Type	Description
searchQueries	string[]	Series/category names to scrape (loose match), e.g. flying eagle, morgan, lincoln, buffalo nickel, dimes, gold eagles. Empty = scrape everything.
series	string[]	Optional extra name filters, merged with searchQueries.
scrapeDetails	boolean	Reserved for per-coin detail enrichment. Default false.
maxResults	integer	Max coin records. 0 = unlimited. Default 500.
proxyConfiguration	object	Proxy settings. RESIDENTIAL recommended (NGC uses Cloudflare).

Example input

{
  "searchQueries": ["flying eagle", "indian cents"],
  "maxResults": 500,
  "proxyConfiguration": { "useApifyProxy": true, "apifyProxyGroups": ["RESIDENTIAL"] }
}

Browse everything:

{ "searchQueries": [], "maxResults": 0 }

How it works

1. Loads the US price-guide index and discovers all top-level categories (Cents, Nickels, Dimes, Dollars, Gold Eagles, Commemoratives, …).
2. For each category, loads its /subcategories/ fragment to enumerate every series ("set type").
3. For each series that matches your query, parses the price-guide table — two aligned tables joined on the NGC coin id — extracting coin metadata plus every priced grade cell.

Grade labels

Grades appear as NGC labels: circulated (PrAg/AG, G, VG, F, VF, XF), numeric Sheldon grades (50, 53, 55, 58, 60–70), with + (plus) and star variants where NGC publishes them, plus Proof (PF…) rows for proof coins.

Notes

• Values are NGC's published estimates and change over time; each row includes scrapedAt.
• NGC sits behind Cloudflare — use the Apify RESIDENTIAL proxy for reliable runs.
• Output pricing is Pay Per Result.
