    NTC is not held in high esteem for their grading accuracy. My personal experience has been that they are 1-2 points higher than PCGS.
    When in doubt, don't.

    They also have no compunction holdering blatantly artificially toned coins.

    That was cracked out of an NTC MS63 holder.

    I've never heard of anybody! crossing a NTC to PCGS. If you want them in PCGS holders I'd crack them out. The last time I looked, NTC wasn't even listed on coinsheetlinks.com

    There are the occassional good buys in NTC holders but you have to look carefully. I was able to cross a toned merc from a 66fb NTC holder to the same grade/designation PCGS.

    I crossed this 1882-O NTC MS-64 DMPL into a PCGS MS-63 DMPL Holder -- however, this is the exception to the rule.

    Boy if that isnt a rare instance, an NTC graded Morgan, especially a DMPL that was graded correctly?

    Treat NTC as if you were buying a raw coin.

    NTC graded- buy at a discount of a a couple of grades. You have to sift through a lot of overgraded stuff to find properly graded slabs. With that said they do trade on ebay for quite a discounted price to the TPG slabs and if you cover all your bases you can occasionally pickup a deal. My two NTC purchases from long ago- a bust quarter that was obviuosly cleaned and subsequently sold for a loss to my wallet, and a 1910 Barber half NTC64 cracked and came back from PCGS on the second try a PCGS 63 image

    The only two I have ever bought.....

    Giving us ntc grades with no pictures is really not going to tell us anything at all- everyone here is very skeptical with regards to ntc, so we would need decent pics! image

    I just cracked and submitted 3 NTC FBL early Franklins last week. Yes, they were "graded" 65 and 66, but they really were FBLs.

    Sorry, no pictures. But if even one of them makes 63 FBL then I'm ahead of the game for what I paid for all of them.

    I'm fairly sure that I'll end up ahead on this one as I treated them as raw and discounted them down from there.
    "Lenin is certainly right. There is no subtler or more severe means of overturning the existing basis of society(destroy capitalism) than to debauch the currency. The process engages all the hidden forces of economic law on the side of destruction, and it does it in a manner which not one man in a million is able to diagnose."
