As you've probably noticed most <b>CT</b> members don't like slabbed coins <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie79" alt=":rage:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. I have no problem with NGC slabbed ancient coins that are high grade or very rare, however, I don't like to see large bronze coins in slabs. By NGC standards your coin would probably grade AU, but the cleaning scratches would most likely be noted on the slab too. One thing to keep in mind is high grade slabbed coins usually bring higher prices at auction <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie6" alt=":cool:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />. The coin pictured below I sold long ago at auction, it fetched $460.00. There is no doubt in my mind it would have sold for at least $100.00 less in a raw state <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1114680[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1114681[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1114682[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
