[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 7950104, member: 115909"]Ive never tried to sell an ancient coin to a dealer and I’m hoping someone with experience doing so can answer this question. Do many coin dealers buy ancient coins? Also does it help if the coins are slabbed by NGC? I imagine most dealers don’t have experience with authenticating ancient coins like they do with US coins but I am wondering if maybe the ones who lack experience would be more comfortable buying Ancient coins if they’ve already been checked out by the experts at NGC and given a pass. It’s true NGC [B]does not guarantee [/B]authenticity when it comes to ancients but I do know they won’t slab an Ancient unless their experts are pretty sure it’s authentic so at least it’s been looked at by an expert and given the thumbs up even if it’s not guaranteed. Like I’m sure if I bought a bunch of fake Ancient coins from China and submitted them to NGC they would be sent back in body bags unslabbed so it’s not like NGC just slabs all coins submitted under the ancients category. They still have to get past the experts. Anyway sorry for the long post I’m just curious if dealers are likely to make an offer on NGC slabbed ancients or if most dealers refuse to buy ancients at all. Thanks![/QUOTE]
