Except NNC. They don't even bother. The guy who runs it is far too busy slabbing his own coins to bother with yours or mine!
From their website
<< <i>PLEASE NOTE: We apologize for any inconvenience. But, due to computer problems which caused a loss of some of our data, NNC will be unable to verify coins that were processed between December 15, 2006 through February 13, 2007. The information we will not be able to provide includes date, mint mark, denomination and grade. >>

Can someone please translate that statement for me?

Define numerous. Three? And how many non-family members where in that audience? Two?

Not so much NNC. They're description almost sounds like a legal disclaimer.
Market share, market share, market share, all about volume.
I often wonder if I'm better off slabbing my coins myself?
What, could someone please explain this, I'm confused.
<< <i>Looks like every TPG claims to have the best professional grading staff in the business. >>
That one guy racks up the frequent flyer miles. That's why turnaround is so long.
