No. They are not a fake coin grading entity, but the quality of the grade will not be as reliable as NGC or PCGS. Any individual grade may be spot on, but then again it may be 2 grades too high.
No, NAS Coin Grading is not a widely recognized or reputable grading company in the numismatic industry. It is important to use grading services from well-known and respected companies such as PCGS (Professional Coin Grading Service) or NGC (Numismatic Guaranty Corporation) for accurate and trusted grading results.
yes, but not a very good or reliable one.

The best way to be certain your coin is genuine is to have it graded by a third party grading company. Many coin dealers can assist you in this process for a fee. There is also a fee for the actual grading and authentication.
Raw refers to a coin that isn't sold in a case. Higher end coins are usually encapsulated and graded by a coin grading company such as PGS. A raw coin however isn't. Some people may try to assign numeric grades to a raw coin, however until it is graded by a reputable grading company, that number is only a rough estimate and most likely is going to be different than the coin if graded by a grading company.
No, I can't seem to find -any- information on them. I wouldn't buy an NGA slabbed coin unless you felt that the price was right and you can tell (hands on preferably) that the coin meets your specification. Most likely NGA is a front created by a coin dealer to mark up common coins by certifying them as MS-70/69 when in reality they might only grade MS-63/4 by PCGS/NGC. So no, I would not classify NGA as a reliable grading company.
You can find a coin grader at professional grading services like the Professional Coin Grading Service (PCGS) or the Numismatic Guaranty Company (NGC), both of which offer grading services for coins. Additionally, many local coin shops have experienced staff who can provide grading services or advice. Coin shows and conventions often feature graders who can evaluate coins on-site. Online platforms and forums also connect collectors with professional graders for remote evaluations.
Many coin shops can submit coins for grading. Also if you are a member of a grading service you may be able to submit them yourself.
