[QUOTE="TIF, post: 2560149, member: 56859"]Good question, since their guarantee is for the [I]grade[/I] o_O. I'd guess they (Heritage) are looking for a way to increase desirability of the relative dregs in their vaults while spending as little as possible on marketing-- assuming this is a special slabbing arrangement between HA and NGC. They're probably trying to entice new-to-ancients budget buyers who are accustomed to buying slabs. I'm unable to see Heritage's listings on eBay, including current offerings (if any) and prior sales. Sometimes I have that issue with eBay, possible due to my geographic location. Maybe someone else can look through HA's current and past eBay ancient coins to see if there are/were other ungraded slabbed NGC coins and when that began.
