Looks like "Negs", which sounds about right - I would guess! But, I should refrain from passing judgment until I see a few of their coins though. Based on the submitter's reviews, I'd guess they overgrade like any of the companies you want to avoid.
MeThinks their grading opinion on a coin will not add any value and just cost you 10 bucks to entomb one's coin ion plastic. IMHO, i'll pass.
I've seen a handful of these, and surprisingly enough I didn't think that their grading was too out of line. Not to say that you should trust their grades, but I've certainly seem far worse out there.
Beats me. And it wouldn't surprise me if they did... Anyone know how they started? ed.: Well, maybe not - looks like they started by incorporation of established dealers. And perhaps the established dealers started in their basements? Verdict? Like scropper said, watch him. When he starts gettin' big / legit, no complaints, and has an IPO, get on his bandwagon!
Here's the submission form, I like "Grade you expect" http://www.nationalcoingradingservice.com/submission form 2013 WEB-PDF.pdf
I didn't realize that they were "First in grading coins". I totally retract my earlier statement and wholeheartedly endorse them.
Kirkuleez, you gave me a chuckle, thanks. : ) Burton Strauss, hey, if they're unsealed I'm just fine with them. I found a SGS 70 Kennedy the other day (graded 70, natch... but it might have been a 64 - I don't remember but it wasn't garbage) and as I was trying to crack it out, I bit my finger with my pliers. Drat. So if they're unsealed I don't give a hoot, fine by me! Much easier to deal with properly.
I still agree with what scropper said about passing judgment a little early... 'Expected Grade', and 'Min Grade Accepted' is kinda' silly. Maybe I could send him my fake '22 No D... And leave 'Exp', and 'Acc' blank on form. ???
