Yeah, they've been around for a while. Probably an ego thing for one guy like NNC.

If I remember right, all NAC "coins" are graded MS 67

My records show that I bought a 1891 S Morgan in a NAC slab graded MS66 for $59 dollars. A real discount considering a NGC graded MS66 is valued over $5000. It was a nice looking coin, and the coin looked like it could grade MS, so I cracked it out and I sent it into NGC and it graded AU58.

Yikes. Every once in awhile a "gutter grader" will surface. Thats why it pays to educate yourself early.

I hereby reserve the initials PGGS. I may want to start the Penny Guy Grading Service. Fee structure will be based on the requested grade. Think it would work? LOL

Slider23 - issues like the 1891-S that are condition rarities make for the sweet spot where the basement slabbers can profitably ply their trade. At least you didn't pay so much to get really burned on your deal. Colligo ergo sum

I call them 'finny' because of the stacking fins. They are not sonically sealed!

There are at least two companies using NAC This is the more recent of the two. They are using CSI style slabs (Named for the basement slabber that developed them, Certified Silver Institute. They got out of the basement slabbing game but became a supplier of shells to others. There are beter than half a dozen firms that have or are using these shells.)
