  In keeping with forum rule 7, I don't have anything to say about the company.

  A third world certification service which on most occasion houses problem coins which wouldn't grade issue free at any of top 4 grading services.

  They are a grading company based in St. Cloud, Florida, but certainly not one of the more popular ones or the ones approved by eBay or Amazon. I've run across their slabs for coins like Gobrechts, territorial gold, etc.
  
  You can Google their website. Of interest, they no longer accept submissions from Singapore due a large number of counterfeits they've encountered.

  A slab, which, if encountered, should be an order of magnitude cheaper than the top three TPG's...Cheers, RickO

  Raw metal surrounded by plastic with a label that has letters and numbers on it. If that appeals to you, enjoy.

  They also slab flowing hair halves.
  
  Gobrechts, territorials, flowing hairs. They seem to have quite a following.

  A customer of mine sent in 10 Morgans in those holders, grading MS66 to MS67PL, into PCGS for crossover w/ a min grade of MS64. Five coins came back PCGS MS64, the other five did not cross at the minimum MS64.
  
  In other words, the grade on those labels is just about worthless. Treat the coin as if it were a raw coin and pay accordingly if you must buy one of these.

  They are what's lovingly termed a 2nd tier slabber. They're a real business with a website, phone # and customer service. But they aren't the top two or even top 5 and many people (including eBay) lump them in with the basement sticky label on a BCW case crowd.
  
  I've seen some nice coins in NNC slabs, although not always agreed with the grade. And I've seen some real dogs.
  
  As always, buy the coin not the slab.
  
  When dealing with ANY slabber, you must remember the words of the immortal C&W song: "I went to bed at 2 with a 10, and woke up at 10 with a 2"
