<p>[QUOTE=&quot;John Anthony, post: 2203193, member: 42773&quot;]Slabbed is not always a good choice when first buying ancients, unless you like getting robbed. Very common coins that never get counterfeited, and cost between $10 and $20 raw, find their way into slabs for $50 to $100. eBay is full of them. </p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m no foe of authentication - if I&#039;m buying a rare, expensive coin, I prefer the peace of mind that NGC or David Sear, or a reputable dealer with a lifetime guarantee can give me. But there are thousands of ancient coins in slabs that are only there for one reason: to swindle the beginner.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
