<p>[QUOTE=&quot;hoth2, post: 2277221, member: 74431&quot;]I&#039;ve been wondering about the future of coin authentication for a while.</p><p><br /></p><p>It seems like we currently have two main options: David Sear and NGC (I know NGC doesn&#039;t guarantee their coins, but regardless of the legal don&#039;t-sue-us-if-we&#039;re-wrong thing, they seem to be treated as an authentication service by most people).&nbsp; I&#039;m in the camp that doesn&#039;t like NGC, if for no reason other than the slabs get in the way.&nbsp; That leaves David Sear.&nbsp; What is going to happen when he&#039;s no longer grading coins?&nbsp; I don&#039;t know the ins and outs of the professional numismatist community, but I haven&#039;t heard of anyone else who provides the service or anyone else with near the expertise.&nbsp; Does NGC just take over at that point?&nbsp; Does someone else step up to the plate?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
