<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TIF, post: 3227036, member: 56859&quot;]Here are the coin images posted in full so you don&#039;t have to click to see each side:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]841582[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Here&#039;s the shot of the flip with the tag.&nbsp; Note that it <i>seems</i> to be an NGC slab label. There is no grade on the right side of the tag.&nbsp; If the tag is not a fake, the coin wasn&#039;t graded.&nbsp; Why would there be no grade?&nbsp; There wouldn&#039;t be a grade if the coin is inauthentic or if they otherwise decline to slab it.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]841583[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Maybe NGC prints a partial tag when returning coins which they deem inauthentic?&nbsp; Perhaps that&#039;s what was printed on the lower half of the tag which has been cut off?&nbsp; Maybe instead of a certification number they write the reason for the body bag?&nbsp; I suspect it was submitted for certification and part of the intake is to briefly identify the coin and weigh it.&nbsp; There was no need to go further in the slabbing process because it isn&#039;t authentic and that is why the rest of the label is not filled out.&nbsp; It&#039;s probably not a fake label because who would fake an NGC label and not fill it out completely?</p><p><br /></p><p>For comparison, here&#039;s an example of that style of NGC tag taken from a screen shot of a Heritage Auctions Didius Julianus denarius:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]841585[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
