[QUOTE="robinjojo, post: 7935163, member: 110226"]Thank you for sharing the contents of this box, Barry. I've never seen what a shipment of high-power ancients to NGC even looks like. For me, it is almost like guessing what's on the dark side of the moon. All of the coins are spectacular. My ancients submissions to NGC, really only two, were far more humble, and mainly with the objective to get another opinion on authenticity. I agree with Doug that super rare ancients are likely better put in slabs to safeguard against mishandling by non-collectors (or even collectors). In my case this is not really a consideration, except possibly for the Segovia 50 reales, but that is in a Capital Plastics custom holder.
