<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2439910, member: 76194&quot;]Let this be a lesson to the newbies who think that buying slabbed will protect you. NGC ancients doesn&#039;t guarantee anything. Best safeguard is to look at tons of coins of the style you want to buy, research known fakes and telltale signs of fakes, and when in doubt, run it by a forum of enthusiast like there are here on this forum.</p><p><br /></p><p>If that coin wasn&#039;t on an NGC holder, that auction house probably might have rejected it, but put it in an NGC holder and people are less likely to question it. This highlights some of the problems with NGC and what it&#039;s doing to the ancient coins hobby. I&#039;m still waiting for the day CAC starts giving NGC ancients stickers, and words like commodity and investment become daily vernacular. Sadly I think that is coming...just like what happened with other US and world coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
