How is NNC as a TPG? I was considering a coin that's slabbed by them. Any help would be appreciated!

    Any other TPG other than PCGS, NGC, Anacs, ICG should have their coins considered raw and valued accordingly. Most collectors would not consider making the purchase without seeing the coin in hand. Pictures are too easy to manipulate.

    Heavily counterfeited issues should be avoided, as some of these companies are NOT good at detecting counterfeits.

    My general rule of thumb with NNC is "don't".

    My specific rule is "only pay what you think the grade really is."
    When in doubt, don't.

    Stay away from NNC coins unless you feel comfortable with your own grading capabilities!
    I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.

    Don't trust their attributions either. I have noticed that they slab AH Kennedy halves that are not AH at all.

    I bougt two NNC coins. Cracked them out and sent them to PCGS. One graded the same and I lost the FB (the seller didn't even sell it as FB because it was so weak), and the other went down a point.

    You did really well on those two crackouts... really, really well! I wish I could consistently do as well with NGC coins, let alone NNC!

    Nice Chevelle!
    When in doubt, don't.

    NNC


    Isn't that the one senseless sells on ebay since ACG is hard to give away?





    Any coin should be treated as raw. Cook thoroughly before eating.

    Loads of them. The first couple times centsles listed them I eMailed telling them they weren't. Of course, they ignored me and went right on trucking. Quite a few $15 regular variety coins bringing $75 to $150. Nice racket.

    I agree, and would stress the "in-hand" part to say never, never buy a 3rd world TPG coin sight unseen, unless you are seriously mad at your money.

    One more question...Should I feel comfortable about buying an ICG coin...sight unseen? I have a PR70DCAM from them that looks flawless.

    It depends. If you get it cheap, sure. But you do not want to pay anywhere near what a PCGS graded coin would bring in the same grade. ICG consistently overgrades moderns.

    As your time is running short, I'll jump in and advise against bidding/buying this auction. ICG is one or two full grades too generous, IMHO, with moderns and especially with modern proofs. Rob

    Only time I trust ICG, is with older circulated coins, especially busties... otherwise, I won't buy ICG sight unseen...
