I just read my original post in this thread. I couldn't believe what I said, Then I noticed it was back in 2008. LOL WOW! My opinions have sure changed since then.
I don't know which is worse SEG or SGS, But I can tell you if it shines....both companies will give it an MS 69 or 70. I have one SEG graded Barber quarter that looks like it went through meat grinder thats rated AU 58. It has obvious wear and scratches on both sides!!!! LOL!! Costs a little more...well maybe a lot more but I would go with PCGS Always
I picked up from a reliable source that this service is no longer available (???) Maybe someone in the know or close can confirm.
My understanding is NCS still exists…but once they do their conservation coins are then slabbed under the NGC label. So NCS no longer has its own slab.
