My experience is that NNC coins are overgraded.
Having said that I've bought a couple cheap and they have been OK for the price.
Photos here are not good enough to be sure but I'd say its not worth sending to PCGS.

Who is NNC?

This is a "Details" grade/slab what is referred to as a "Bodybag coin",  You did well on your first submission :good:
My first two submissions produced three "details" slabs, 1x cleaning, 1x damage and 1x altered surfaces :dash1:
Be careful Bruce, This can become addictive and expensive But is great fun anyway

Not necessarily a bodybag, it's in a genuine slab. It's a genuine uncirculated coin but has a problem. It's been cleaned and may exhibit hairlines or similar. For some rarer coins a genuine slab is better than a bodybag. A bodybag is bad when it comes returned in a Saflip and not a slab.

Thanks for clearing that up for me PP, I feel a wee bit better now:)

I just had a look at this years PCGS submission forms and everything is the same except the postage costs.
This has gone up $12 or over 10% :dodgy:

[Goldseeker]

Thanks one and all for that.

I am seriously thinking of sending my other 15 Mules for Grading and slabbing now.

WOW nice error Bruce,love it.

Thanks Joe.   I got it from a member of this forum.

You would be crazy if you didn't Bruce :good:
If you are going to do this I strongly suggest that you get  get a "NO Frills" membership just to have access to direct submissions :ok:

How things change.
A few months ago trout was a confirmed "slob-ophobic". Notorious for cracking slabs and removing the coins.
Now he is a "slab-aholic" and sending coins away to be graded and slabbed.

PCGS must be a very powerful one of those new designer drugs!

I still remove coins from slabs and mint packaging to add to my collections, That hasn't changed at all

Now he is a "slab-aholic" and sending coins away to be graded and slabbed.

The reason I am getting coins graded by TPG's is to make them a more saleable item, Also it is a fantastic way of "Fine Tuning" my grading skills.
Most of us THINK we can grade accurately, Testing that skill against PCGS or NGC lets you KNOW if you have it sussed :ok:

One of the oldest drugs of all.
The thirst to learn new skills and my competitive nature kicks in.
There is also an immense sense of satisfaction when you do "Get it Right" :yahoo:

[JeffH]

Well said Jim.

[stevo1962]

The initial hurdle for me was sending my valuable coins away for months at a time and hoping that they come back safely but as they
say nothing ventured nothing gained
