Easy to tell with a stereo microscope though (the dissecting kind). I could barely tell for sure with a loupe. I&#039;m not sure if NGC cares about that; I still think the surfaces are wonderful, good stike (well-centered) and a mark on the dude&#039;s cheek on the reverse. Nothing THAT bad though. Maybe a good VF? For the price I payed, I think it&#039;s OUTSTANDING. Same price places usually sell the heavily worn 50% off-center ones ;3</p><p><br /></p><p>I just liked the second piece so I got it. I haven&#039;t gotten many Italian pieces but that picture of the lion is just sooooo cute (it&#039;s also well-centered). The reverse is &quot;meh&quot; but I Think the double-strike is kinda cool, even in an ancient. Might be why the obverse stands out so well???</p><p><br /></p><p>Should be getting a lot more hectes if the other auction house gets back to me :\&nbsp; I&#039;d think they would want to get paid (except these were all lowball bids so who knows if they care... I want them though, lol).</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ll call them if I&#039;m awake in Switzerland time during the week but it make things tough. They said 14 days anyway and I emailed them at least 3 tmes.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>~ Ricky[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
