Grading Company in Question: Is it a good grading Co.

#1 Unread post by Soaru678 »

I am currently looking at a coin in a holder that is from "NAS" and is graded as a MS66. I personally looked at this coin and am not sure it is actually a MS66. Is this one of those grading companies that is on the list not to trust?

Run Away!
Everything I've ever seen of them has EVERY coin as a 66. Not even a second tier grading company! just someones basement slabbing operation.
Stick with coins from the big four grading companies.. some older shutdown grading companies were good and the coins accurate being worth buying but not that brand =)

Kind of what I thought. The coin is at an auction and is currently bid at $60. I am not bidding on this coin and maybe not any of the Morgan's they have in it. Several coins looked cleaned and did not have the glimmer that is from a good coin.

Thank you for the reply's
