[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 8334301, member: 115909"]I know a lot of people say that but even dealers make it hard without slabs. For example what if I bought a coin from a dealer raw and I didn’t know it was fake for many years? The dealer might not even be in business anymore. Even if he was how do I prove that the coin I bought from him is the same as the one determined fake? That’s why it’s really hard because there is almost a time limit on how long dealers can guarantee their coins. [B]I want to mention it’s true NGC does not guarantee their coins either. [/B] But I feel more comfortable with their ancient coin Experts giving the coins a thumbs up than with a dealer whose primary knowledge is most likely in American coins like Morgan Dollars. I know every dealer in my town could identify a fake Morgan Dollar within a few minutes. But how many of them could identify a well faked hammer struck counterfeit ancient? In my experience it’s very few. From what I’ve seen most dealers have alot of experience with US coins but not ancients.[/QUOTE]
