Can anyone offer input as to the quality / reputation of this company?

Any assistance is appreciated!

NNC is a "basement slabber" established by an ebay seller, Centsles, to sell his own coins.
By now, these coins are probably sold by others. It is not a true TPG; grades are inflated and cleaning/other problems are not disclosed*.
*not just my opinion--there is ample documentation online.

I have purchased several slabbed coins off Centsles. They are reputable and send my hammered gold coins very securely packed to Australia. Happy to bid on their slabs (made another bid this morning).
Their slabs are however very reliable (as in reliably overgraded). An NNG MS 62 slab is closer to AU 50 if you apply high/harsh grading standards. I bid accordingly and when I win I get good value based on my bid.

Wisdom. Get over the number on the slab, and buy the coin. For all the time we've spent talking about this seller and his "TPG," I have never heard the slightest question of his business integrity.

He is, however, a former finalist in the PCGS Grading Contest, which is distressing since it indicates these overgrades are the deliberate act of an expert.

Forget the slab--look at the coin.
However, with NNC, you can't see the rim...so you might get nailed with an unexpected rim ding...or possibly a casting seam.
