[QUOTE="TypeCoin971793, post: 7855929, member: 78244"]That was a one-off arrangement with a dealer who bought a hoard of Chong Ning 10 cash in slender gold script. If any regular folk sent them in, NGC would reject them. It varies. The Shanghai branch of Wende grading is considered the absolute best and infallible. Gongbo (GBCA), Huaxia, and Baocui are all considered reliable as well. There are many different branches of each grading service, and some are considered better than others. There are like 180 other grading services with widely varying repute. So big 4 and many basement slabs, like in the US. I have a couple Chinese slabs with me here. The left is Baocui, and the right is GBCA. Both companies provide high-quality images of each and every coin certified on their websites to add security. The Baocui slab is interesting in that it is designed to be opened so the coin can be examined out of the slab without having to destroy the slab. These slabs are popular in China because you have the protection of the image and Chinese cash coins are not at all sensitive to handling with very few exceptions.
