<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Orfew, post: 7780809, member: 74968&quot;]Imho buying slabs is an excuse for some to not do the research. While some raw coins are deceptive fakes, the chances of getting a fake are greatly reduced by studying and researching the coins. Again, in my opinion only, but many of those who come to ancients after collecting moderns seem to rely on others to do the work for them.</p><p><br /></p><p>In addition, there are some who expect the world of ancient coins to be subject to the same expectations of modern coins. Why does anyone need a coin to be graded? This is often an excuse for not doing the work oneself. </p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=115909]@Gam3rBlake[/USER] , I sincerely hope that you maintain your interest in ancient coins. It is a fascinating hobby that differs greatly from the world of moderns. </p><p><br /></p><p>There are many helpful people here so do not be afraid to ask. Also, if I can in any way be helpful please do let me know. Welcome to this very interesting area of collecting. If you stuck to it for the next 70 years, I daresay you might at the end of that time realize that you knew less than when you started.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
