You know the story, it's a commone one 
OK, I have sitting in front of me some papers with a gals "portfolio" on them. Pretty decent coins and grades such as an 1864 2 cent piece in MS66BN .......
Only thing is, they don't say who they are certified by or if they are raw or anything at all really. Tried to call them and I got a home answering machine. I know it's a home answering machine becuase theirs is set to the generic message that came with it and it's exactly like mine.
Anyway, anyone ever heard of them before? The only information I found on them was ONE link that led to a PDF file and it was bankruptsy documents.
Also, they use abreviations for their coin descriptions and I'm stumped. What is a 1941 MCD?

Wild guess - Mercury Dime, with "MC" signifying Mercury and "D", dime?
Is there any state and/or address information for the company? Either way, it's probably a moot point, with the coins having to be treated as uncertified pieces.
Edited: Oops, looks like you reached the same conclusion on the 1941, while I was typing my reply.

Yeah, Numismatic Investments of America, 22 Main Street, P.O. Box 1717 Salem, New Hampshire (603)898-1611
If I get to see the actuall coins, I'll report on how they look and who/if they are certified by.
How do these outfits usually work? Certified coins or raw in flips?

Often the latter, but on a practical basis, it makes no difference, as the coins need to be treated as uncertified, anyway.

What if by chance they happen to be certified by PCGS or NGC?? You wouldn't treat them raw then would you?
I know it's not likely but I'm crossing my fingers for her that they are legitimately certified.

Fair and correct point, of course. Perhaps I jumped to the wrong conclusion about the grading - I hope so, in fact.

I'm going to assume that they are either raw or in some junk holders. But since I haven't seen them yet, I'm crossing my fingers ...... and toes.
is a red flag for me.
