<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sand, post: 7780900, member: 118540&quot;]You make some good points here.</p><p>If I remember correctly, NGC is very good at authenticating ancient coins, at least during recent times. However, if I remember correctly, they may not be as good, at authenticating modern coins. If I remember correctly, NGC has 1 or 2 persons, who specialize in ancient coins. If I remember correctly, there was a long thread, during which the NGC ancient coin expert(s) were discussed, a couple of months ago.</p><p>If I remember correctly, this is the thread :</p><p><a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/what-happened-to-gitbud-numismatik.380510/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/what-happened-to-gitbud-numismatik.380510/">https://www.cointalk.com/threads/what-happened-to-gitbud-numismatik.380510/</a></p><p>See especially page 2 of the thread, where the following is stated :</p><p>&quot;... once upon a time NGC Ancients was notorious for egregious blunders like this--I&#039;ve also seen Caracalla misidentified as Elagabalus in an NGC slab and vice versa--but all that was before David Vagi reorganized the department from top to bottom, joined more recently by Barry Murphy. Of course Barry and David aren&#039;t perfect because no one is, but I guarantee you NGC isn&#039;t making mistakes like this <i>now</i>. Not even once in a while. Not ever.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
