having a split grade like that i would think it's an older company probably from the early 80's. But i know nothing about slabs lets see what other people have to say.
Began operations around March of this year as DCGS for Distinctive Coin Grading Service but changed its name when it learned that the DCGS initials were already being used by Digital Coin Grading Service. (I have never actually seen any slabs issued under the Distinctive name.) First name change was to CCGS. (I don't know what the initials stood for. I do have a CCGS slab.) and almost immediately they changed their name again to NSCGS, New Standard Coin Grading Service. This final name change took place by May of 2002 as that was when I first started seeing them in quantity. They have now dwindled in number so it may be possible that NSCGS is no longer operating.
Considering they haven't finished whatever website they were building, and they haven't made any changes to it in almost three months, and that the number I see continues to dwindle I am still of the opinion that that may have folded.
And as an update to my earlier post, I do now own a DCGS slab from their first company name as well. They used the same slab style for all three names, only the initials changed. Thanks to Flying56eagles link I now have their email address and maybe I can get some more information about the earlier versions.
