NCS slabs - genuine

sinin1

What are your thoughts when you see a NCS slab that says genuine?

Is this a coin that could not make PCGS/NGC?

Why would someone pay NCS to authenicate rather than one of the other services
that authenicate and grade?


For that matter, why would anyone pay any grading service to put in plastic and call authentic?

I guess for something very rare that might have been horribly cleaned or something. You would at least have some assurance of authenticity without having the coin net graded by ANACS. Just an idea . mdwoods

They will mark it as genuine if you want them to only authenticate the coin. I believe they will still mark out any problems. But you can have a problem free coin in an NCS holder marked genuine. But the vast majority of the time, you would have them mark it as genuine with a details note so that someone knows it isn't fake, but there are problems with the coin that would keep it out of a regular holder.

I just sent three coins for NCS holdering as genuine. A 1872 Indian cent with MS-64 details, cleaned. A 1799 Bust dollars with XF-40 details, cleaned, and a 1909-S-VDB Lincoln Cent, MS-64 details, recolored. Who would want to buy these raw? Very few. By slabbing, most folks would seriously consider the coins because they can be assured that they are real. Not every cleaned coin is uncollectable.

they have 2 levels for Non conservation submissions that I know of.
6.00 and they will holder it and merely state GENUINE on it with no grade assigned.
12.00 and they will holder and assign it a grade and note problem(s)

I have only seen a few for sale of the GENUINE ones. I would suspect most people would pay the extra and get a grade.

I submitted my wreath cent to them on the 12.00 level.

I REALLY like the appearance of their holder!
