Each one of these half dollars was sent to either PCGS or NGC by a collector or dealer. The coins were in their "raw" state. Most of them came directly from the U.S. Mint prior to being sent to one of the grading companies.
On arrival, each coin was received, cataloged, looked at under magnification by an Numismatic expert, given an Alpha/Numeric grade along with a serial number. The coin is then sealed in a protective special made plastic holder along with a label printed for your individual coin showing the serial number, specifics and most times include a holographic label on the reverse.
Some of the coins also have special labels that depict notable people, places and events like 4th of July, Declaration of Independence, Washington, Lincoln, U.S. Flag, Bald Eagle, etc.

You (or someone you give the coin to) can go to either of the grading companies websites and look up your particular coin and get a lot of information on it for things like how many were minted, who designed the coin, coin facts and quite a bit more.
