Message:: [QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 74600, member: 112"]banny - NCS is a conservation service, primarily they should be used when you have coins with unsightly toning or dirt on them but are otherwise gradeable coins. The idea is that after you have NCS conserve a coin - then you send it on to NGC to have it graded and slabbed. NCS can however be used to have an ungradeable coin, like one that has been harshly cleaned or one that has damage, authenticated. Normally this would only be done with a coin of significant value. But you need to understand - NCS will NOT assign a net grade to the coin like ANACS does. An NCS grade will be something like AU Details - Cleaned - and that's it. An ANACS net grade will be like AU Details/Cleaned - Net EF40. But in both cases the coin will be slabbed. What I would suggest is this - pic out the coins you wish to have slabbed, post high quality pics of them here on the forum and ask for opinions on what you should do or what grading company you should send them to. It might just save you a good bit of money and some heartache.[/QUOTE]
