<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The_Cave_Troll, post: 159478, member: 1674&quot;]Both companies (they are seperate) are part of the Certified Collectibles Group, but since they are distinc they don&#039;t work together the way you mentioned.&nbsp; If you send a cleaned coin to NGC it will be bb&#039;d for the improper cleaning.&nbsp; But if you are aware that the coin is a suspected problem coin then you have the option of sending it to NCS FIRST, with instructions that if they deem it a NO PROBLEM coin then it should be sent to NGC for grading/slabbing.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>NCS charges a small % of the coin&#039;s value for their pre-service evaluation fee.&nbsp; This fee applies to all coins sent to NCS.&nbsp; Then based on that evaluation the coin will have one of 3 things done to it.&nbsp; 1)if it is a no problem coin that would be unhelped by conservation it is forwarded on to NGC for grading, or 2) it is found to be a coin that has problems that cannot be corrected/improved through conservation, in which case it will be returned or slabbed by NCS (depending on the submitter&#039;s preference), or 3) it will be conserved after which it will be returned unslabbed or slabbed by NCS (if it is still a problem coin) or sent to NGC for grading if the problem doesn&#039;t preclude it.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>NCS charges a second fee if they do conservation work and then they charge a third fee if the coin is slabbed by NCS (this fee is charged by NGC if they do the slabbing).</p><p><br /></p><p>I hope this clears it up for you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
