I have bought several of their slabbed coins on Ebay. I didnt pay more than for the coin and I'm glad. Im very novice at coin grading but even I could tell the coins they sent didnt match thier grades. All mine were silver from guatemaula, brazil and on belgium so I would have minimal loss.
My best advice to you is pay for the coin you see and ignore the grade and if you want a specific grade in a coin look to ANACS, PCGS or NGC. Stay away from NNC, SGS and capitol coin grading.

<< <i> Generally, I agree, but I did experience one exception to the rule. About 3 years ago, I found a XF 1872 indian head cent in a NNC holder. I broke it out and sent it to ANACS (to keep my set consistant), and it came back AU-58. What is that saying about when pigs fly....? >>
Wow, you should have bought a lottery ticket that day. You'd probably have won a million bucks.
You can occasionally score a nice coin in some of this Third World plastic. It's not the grading that worries me with Third World slabs. You can see the coin and grade it accordingly. It's the hidden problems undisclosed on the labels that you have to watch out for.

To say NNC is untrustworthy would be giving too much credit.

Bought a 1904 Proof USPI 10 centavos in PF-65 for $170 in Sept 2005.
Cracked and crossed to NGC at same grade.
Sold for $270 in Feb 2008.
My only experience with them.
