<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MorganFred, post: 39051, member: 1779&quot;]I&#039;ve been seeing quite a few NNC for several months. There seems to be a recent proliferation of these new &quot;certification&quot; companies.Most I&#039;ve seen &quot;certified&quot; MS-66 to MS-68 to -70 won&#039;t even pass as sliders; some are outrageous, e.g. labelling a VF coin as MS-65. Just another gimmick to trap the unknowing and unwary buyer.</p><p><br /></p><p>Some of the others with impressive-sounding, but deceptive initials: CRC (Certified Rare Coins), PGS (there are three PGS&#039;s, but I&#039;m only familiar with Patriot Grading Service which labelled a coin which didn&#039;t even exist (MS-66 1958-S quarter instead of 1958-D [XF at best, BTW), NGS (Numistmatic Grading Service), FRG, the aforementioned SGS and a host of other wannabees. None are worth the match to melt their plastic.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
