<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 1908598, member: 42773&quot;]Secondly, Mr. Vagi: you are not going to sell us on the idea that ancient coins need the protection of your slabs. Millions of them have survived in excellent condition for thousands of years before NGC came along. Protection is not, nor ever will be, a rebuttal to the criticism that slabs don&#039;t allow collectors to hold their ancient coins. You say most collectors like the tactile experience of holding their coins, but we&#039;re going to <u>slab them anyway</u>. That&#039;s rather shooting yourself in the foot, don&#039;t you think?</p><p><br /></p><p>If you&#039;re not going to guarantee the authenticity of the coins, what&#039;s the point of a slab? Why not offer a service similar to ACCS (David Sear)? Give us a certificate with a photograph and a detailed write-up, and let us hold the coins. If someone forges that exact coin and replaces the original, well, <i>c&#039;est la vie</i>...you&#039;re not on the hook anyway since there is no guarantee.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
