OUCH, I spent big bucks on a war nickel and realize it is AU

bought from auction with crappy picks
HIGH BOOK VALUE - LOOK IT UP

It would go AU58 at PCGS
would that be systematic fraud for the slabber, or do they have a better (for them)
grading system
why is it the ones that make the most noise are the crookedest?
I hope when that lawsuit gets over, the judge throughs the originators in jail as well as all court costs

Been pretty lucky in life. Before I knew about respected TPGS, I had bought a coin on eBay in an NTC holder that thankfully got lost in the mail, but was insured. Then I bought an ACG coin. Despite the seller's no refund policy, I still got a full refund without any arguing. Then I learned.
As for the OP, sorry to hear about this. Unfortunately, there is not much you can do about this thanks to eBay's caveat emptor policy.

big bucks was 10 bucks - was not eBay
but another auction
I think if any auction house sells these things, I will boycott them unless there in person
along with ANI, NNNC, and some others I have seen

That's a good one. Almost as good as Numistrust = New Mistrust. Not quite as hilarious, but I'll definitely remember it.

You bought the seg holders or the seg holders containing the coins?

There is NO way I would rate NTC (Numistrust) lower than NNC. I have another dozen (PCI gold label, ACG, & NTC) on my desk right now, and (once again) the NTC coins are more conservatively graded than PCI gold & ACG. Having said that, great deals can be had for (lower value) coins slabbed by all three of them.
As for NNC, personally, I would not have them on this list, I would have them on a list with;
QVC/Quasar,USCG,CSI,APEX,NES,SNGA,INB,GEC,WCG,UGS,EAGC, and every other ebay seller/self slabber pretend grading service (I know, AH may sell his ACG slabs on ebay now, but he obviously didn't start out that way).
No surprise about the nickel, as NNC (and others I listed with them) routinely "slab" cleaned and/or worn coins as MS-66, etc. If I had to make a list, it would look more like this;
1 PCGS
2 NGC
3 ANACS (depending on time period, could move up or down)
4 Hallmark/Early Green Label PCI (and recent Signature Series)
5 ICG (better than a few years ago and hope to see them ahead of ANACS soon)
6 SEGS
7 NTC
8 PCI Gold Label (hope to see the new DLRC owned PCI ahead of ANACS as well)
9 ACG (although, less likely to slab a problem coin than PCI Gold label era)
big bucks was 10 bucks - was not eBay
O.K., so your initial post was 'tongue in cheek' I guess. I sure hope so. The only thing suprising about this post is that the coin may grade as high as AU58. At least it would grade in your opinion. Most of the crap in those slabs wouldn't even make it into a major TPG slab regardless of grade.
