eBay Bust Half Listing: Who is NCS?
Nick Knight
I'm betting not, but I don't keep up on NGC enough to know for sure. I know
I'd stay clear of this one.
If they are not related, this guy is using NGC in his titles and the listing
is misleading.

The are are both members of the Certified Collectibles Group:
http://www.collectiblesgroup.com/about.htm
That page states that they NGC and NCS independent companies, and
the state of Florida lists them separately. Steven Eichenbaum is
listed as CEO of CCG, NGC, and NCS.
Whether that makes them "related" depends on the definition.
However, an NCS "UNC details" coin is not an NGC "MS-60".

NCS is a sister company of NGC and usually grades (Damaged, cleaned,
or problem coins) coins that NGC would normally body bag.
Mr. Jaggers
When the extensive variety collection of the late, great Jules Reiver was
auctioned a couple of years ago, it was sent in its entirety to NGC for
slabbing. The result was that some of the coins ended up in NGC slabs (no
problem coins) and the rest in NCS slabs (one or more problems). What I do
not know is whether the NGC rejects had to be resubmitted, or whether they
just "went across the hall" for NCS slabbing.. At least in this case the
NCS labels did not seem to dampen the enthusiasm of the bidders much at all,
as many of the pieces were very rare varieties, and Jules had 'em all.
