Many ancient's collectors don't like slabs. They like to hold their coins, or have the option to feel them. I think some of them distrust the...
I love the Owl. Not gonna lie, that's one of my dream coins that I haven't pulled the trigger on yet. My middle name is Alexander, so I've got...
Thanks! The story of how I acquired it is in this thread: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/fun-newp-1810-switzerland-5-batzen.353297/#post-3994414

Definitely cast. It took me approximately 3.2 seconds to determine this is a fake. "In Cod We Trust" I mean, I'm a huge seafood lover, but I...
Given its location, I'd suspect someone started to drill a hole to make some jewelry or something.
Ooh, is that one of those new suspended slabs from NGC? How does it look?
