<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RomanGreekCoin3, post: 3135909, member: 96564&quot;]Red_spork is 100% right. I know that NGC will send your coin back if it is discovered to not be authentic, but we have no idea how rigorous they test them. Red_spork just proved NGC made a mistake.</p><p><br /></p><p>arashpour,I just quoted you a paragraph&nbsp; from NGC themselves stating that they DO NOT guarantee authenticity... only grading.</p><p><br /></p><p>and NGC slabbed are way more expensive.. as i already stated. For what? For a piece of plastic shell with a hologram?</p><p><br /></p><p>Trust me, its just not worth it..</p><p>and as i said- with a little common sense, Ebay is fine, A lot of people on here sell on ebay( i dont- i buy only- for now)</p><p><br /></p><p>NGC does have great experts working with them- this is true... but even the best coin experts have been fooled by modern fakes.</p><p><br /></p><p>No fake is 100% perfect. but no coin expert is either.</p><p><br /></p><p>and Vcoins is overpriced. I have seen garbage on there&nbsp; that nobody wants for hundreds. Not sure how much I would trust those sellers.</p><p><br /></p><p>You do what you want- Feel free to ignore our good advice and blow your money on NGC slabbed coins, but dont say you werent warned.</p><p><br /></p><p>By using common sense and actually have the coin in your hand( to measure weight and diameter, not to mention metallurgy testing kits , you can do just fine without every buyin an NGC slab.</p><p><br /></p><p>NGC never uses testing kits. because the kits can slightly alter/ damage the coin sheen( such as a silver testing kit)</p><p><br /></p><p>In fact i am thinking of removing the ones out of the case that I have now. Its just not worth it( unless&nbsp; I am going to sell to suckers who&nbsp; think NGC coins are&nbsp; always 100% authentic )</p><p><br /></p><p>And I have no need to sell any of my coins- yet.</p><p><br /></p><p>I just prefer to buy from trusted sellers with good reputations.&nbsp; But even they can make a mistake( this happened to me just 2 months ago- He is an expert and even he made a mistake- he refunded my $ and&nbsp; all is good)</p><p><br /></p><p>And you are ignoring the fact that they have already developed ways to fake NGC slabs ( the shell/hologram). Look them up online.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://gradingholderpage.coinauctionshelp.com/PCGSFAKEANDREAL3.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>and they are only getting better and better. I came across a fake case before... never bought it -thank God, but so you see now? You cant trust anyone. But do whatever you want, Its your money. Red_spork and I are just&nbsp; are informing the board as well so the rest of the good people on here dont make the same mistake in trusting NGC as much as you do.</p><p><br /></p><p>There isn&#039;t a test that&#039;s been created that a smart man can&#039;t find his way around!</p><p><br /></p><p>Have a good day.</p><p>April[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
