[QUOTE="Lesbian Cow, post: 2291879, member: 74735"]Hi Bing, It says "perhaps a Celtic issue" on the NGC label, I do not know the significance. Hi Sallent, great to know that NGC does not guarantee authenticity on ancients. I definitely jumped into this coin without doing proper research. Does PCGS guarantee authenticity? I am not a novice to collecting coins, graded and raw, this is just my first ancient. While I am comfortable I can grade something like a raw Morgan or Walking Lib, and spot counterfeits, I do not have that confidence in ancients which is why I bought in a slab. It is helpful to know the slab is no guarantee. I also bought this coin from what appears to be a reputable dealer. I have a lot to learn in this area but I am eager to do so. What attracts me to ancients is that looking at the coin makes me want to learn the history of the culture when the coin was circulated. Gives me some educational value, if that makes sense. Cheers![/QUOTE]
