<p>[QUOTE=&quot;4to2centBC, post: 2289635, member: 76181&quot;]How can something be behind your back when it is an open discussion being held by a couple dozen people for an entire day??</p><p><br /></p><p>And yes, for me, I have doubts. I spent hrs looking for an incuse of similar design (and I took into account the transitional styles that JA posted.) I could find nothing similar. A few others here have posted concerns, but nobody likes to label a good coin bad, so they have been cautious in their tone. Several others have jumped in and blessed it. I would like them to point to some reference that shows something close. I can&#039;t find it. Since it isn&#039;t my coin, I stopped devoting time to it.</p><p><br /></p><p>If I owned it, I would want to know more about it. I hope it is genuine for everyones sake, because it is unusual.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t know how to be more in front of a person than that.</p><p><br /></p><p>And I read Nates response as I was writing this. I would still want to know more, I would not rely on the encapsulation as a guarantee of authenticity. Or Nates keen eye via a photo of a slabbed coin.&nbsp; I have no idea who at the grading agency looked at this and many have now made it clear that because someone graded and slabbed it......it does not guarantee authenticity. To assume it authentic because someone looked at it before slabbing it is a FALSE assumption. Sorry Nate.</p><p><br /></p><p>It could be a unique, rare or scarce piece, or it could be a fake. It is not run of the mill. THAT alone should raise on eyebrow and beg more examination.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW if your coin had come from a reputable dealer, it should have had a well researched attribution. this would have simplified any verification attempt. There is value in that. Ask any one of the dealers or their reps that post here.</p><p><br /></p><p>None of this should dissuade you from collecting ancients. Just understand that the slab can be a hindrance, and in this case I believe it is.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
