[QUOTE="Carthago, post: 2289135, member: 76111"]I'm going to go a bit against the grain here and say that I believe seat makers should build seats if there are butts to fill them. Clearly, there's a market for slabs so slab away I say. It really doesn't affect me all that much as a collector one way or another. My primary concern is that a company is representing a coin, certified in a particular condition and I think they need to be accurate if they are being paid to provide that service. As Phil pointed out, I also think it is misleading that Numismatic Guarantee Company doesn't guarantee anything when it comes to ancients. I just expect, somehow, that this should be done better. I personally do not believe that slabbing will take over the ancients market. There are too many butts in the ancient market that desire a seat that isn't made of hard plastic! There's a naked/raw joke in there somewhere that I'm going to resist temptation to pursue...:wideyed:[/QUOTE]
