In the 2011 Gilbert et. al. price guide, on page 11, they discuss grading. New Old Stock is not listed as a condition. It is, however, mentioned more like a providence in the top grade "Pristine Mint". New Old Stock. Absolutely factory new.
Having quoted that, I do know what I think you mean by New Old Stock. It's pretty close to uncirculated in condition, regardless of how many times it has traded ownership outside the retail point of sale.
