eBay sold listing have three types of NGC labels. There are 67 "NGS" slabs for sale on fleaBay.

Most are typos from NGC

Several are NuGrade - another out of business basement slabber. Judging by the cert numbers, they slabbed about 30-40K coins before hanging up the sonic sealer. Very square slab. Also Universal and somebody else I forget used the same slab. Parts made in the US was their selling point.

More interesting is that there are several high end Indian coins for sale in what looks like a new Indian company: Numismatic Guarantee Service of India, Pvt. Ltd. with an ngsofindia.com web site.

Their website says they were established in 2011, but "NGS Grading is being Restructured and Internal Audit is being done to serve you efficiently. So we have stopped receiving submissions till December-end.Thanks "

Internet archive crawled them from January 2012 through May 2015, so that note has to be more recent than May 2015. The database lookup appears dead.

 

Oh, and just because I can't resist, here is my famous (new NGS) "Waiter there is a hair in my slab"

 

Reviving this (for @ddddd) because I bought a new NGS slab. No, not something I found in an out of the way pawn shop for $20, this was bought from a prominent slab collector and I have a case of the "I wants". There is a reason I only venture out to East Texas once a year for the Tyler CC show...



From the cert#, it's earlier than the one you showed a couple of years back. The bar code isn't readable on my phone.

 

Cool find @Burton Strauss III ...it's the first I've seen. I'm glad it's in your collection now!

 

I have seen this slab somewhere recently at an auction. I can’t remember what coins were in it

 

First I've seen of that style. The question is, is this a different company? There have been several cases of different companies using the same initials or even the same name. Since they are "basement slabbers" they really don't care that someone else has used the same name/initials.

 

@Conder101 I tend to think they are different... The one @ddddd posted doesn't have the ACG initials in the mold. The new one does.

I recall something you posted back in the dusty depths of time about the full up $25k option including a "custom" shell and the lower cost option not having that option.
