NCS and grade protection
I've read on the NCS site that they offer grade protection on submittals, at
their discretion. If this protection were afforded a particular NGC slabbed submission, I assume that this implies that they guarantee that NGC will regrade it at current level... My question though that I didn't see in the NCS FAQ is how does the NGC fee get factored in, and when/how do I pay? I would hope/imagine/dream... that NCS would not return the coin raw. Please note that the coin I'm thinking of sending in is a 1916 Barber quarter NGC MS66. -jim- |

Its unlikely anything they can do will make it any better. I'd bet they would not guarantee anything on such a valuable and scarce coin, they might even recommend against any such conservation. -jim- |

Either NGC slabs it at the same level, or they return it untouched. Your coin seems ideal for this service, because a high-grade coin benefits the most from "conservation." Collectors who buy Barbers in high mint state very much value clean, lustrous surfaces, and any improvement in appearance could easily increase the value by a great deal more than the fee. They are the same company as NGC. Regards, Tom |

I'm contemplating submitting it because it has a spot on the obverse which,
for now, only detracts from the eye appeal, but which I'm afraid will turn into surface damage down the road if not conserved. -jim- "Bob Peterson" wrote in message ...
