Message:: [QUOTE="TIF, post: 1884049, member: 56859"]I had this on my watch list at Heritage, not with any intention to buy but just because it was a nice coin and the grading was intriguing. In other threads we have discussed NCG grading of ancients and most often, have noted what people here consider overgrading. This one appears to be the opposite.  I was very surprised that the surfaces were rated at only 3/5, especially considering the pitted and degraded surfaces of other coins which are granted a higher rating.  Of course, it is hard to judge based on pictures taken through a slab but the surfaces look better than 3/5 to me.  Looks like it didn't sell as it is listed for post-auction purchase, $3,290.  <a href="http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=231411&lotNo=63025" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=231411&lotNo=63025" rel="nofollow">http://coins.ha.com/c/item.zx?saleNo=231411&lotNo=63025</a><img src="http://dyn3.heritagestatic.com/lf?set=path%5B1%2F1%2F0%2F4%2F7%2F11047369%5D%2Csizedata%5B450x2000%5D&call=url%5Bfile%3Aproduct.chain%5D" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> <img src="http://dyn1.heritagestatic.com/lf?set=path%5B1%2F1%2F0%2F4%2F7%2F11047370%5D%2Csizedata%5B450x2000%5D&call=url%5Bfile%3Aproduct.chain%5D" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]
