These days, if you see an expensive U.S. coin outside of a holder, my first thought is, “Why isn’t it certified? What’s wrong with it?” </p><p><br /></p><p>For foreign coins, certification is less necessary, and many collectors of ancient coins prefer them raw. The two comments I would give to beginners in the ancient coin field is that you have to concerned about counterfeits, and NGC does a very good job with their authentication and grading.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
