<p>[QUOTE="Brian Bucklan, post: 2448004, member: 76544"]As most everyone on this site knows I am not an advocate for grading ancients. The conditional grade that is shown is pretty much just the opinion of the individual grader, and is based IMO on nothing in particular. There are just far too many variables that would have to be considered. The only positive that grading could bring is a guarantee of authenticity, given how many fakes are showing up lately. I'm fairly certain NGC would never knowingly grade a US coin without some assurance of authenticity. Ancients should be held to the same standard, and if they can't do this then it's time to end the practice.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
