<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheMont, post: 2461219, member: 80121&quot;]I totally agree with you, but there&#039;s two reasons I would tend not to get a certified one: 1) I&#039;d hate to break open the slab to put it in my album (I know some people just put a note in the slot that they have it certified) and 2) I&#039;m good friends with the owners of a local jewelry shop and they have one of those very expensive machines that you put a coin/jewelry into the top, close the lid, push the button and it tells you what metal it is and the percentage of the metal. I just had an Athena/Owl Ancient checked for my wife and the machine read 89% silver, that plus the size and weight were right so I bought it with the condition that I would send it to NGC Ancients for certification. I&#039;d do the same with any raw 1916-D Mercury that I was considering buying raw.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
