<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Curtis, post: 8229784, member: 26430&quot;]Oh no, don&#039;t get me started on Stack&#039;s descriptions of ancient coins! Aside from their puffed up superlatives, they also frequently make the most apologetic comments if they feel there is even the slightest &quot;<i>evidence of handling</i>&quot;! Their phrase. </p><p><br /></p><p>As if&nbsp; the fantasy of a coin being removed from the mint in latex gloves and placed in plastic until it can be encapsulated without ever touching skin somehow applies to ancient coins.... Coins that were buried underground for 1,500-2,500 years, then excavated, cleaned chemically and manually to make them collectible, then passed through middlemen to dealers to collectors to Stack&#039;s to NGC and back... <i>unhandled</i>![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
