<p>[QUOTE=&quot;4to2centBC, post: 2796731, member: 76181&quot;]Who the heck graded this at NGC? a 4/5 strike? in whose world?&nbsp; I have looked at this type of coin for almost a dozen years.&nbsp; I have bid on dozens and THE ONLY grade on this coin that makes sense is the F (fine) and the 2/5.</p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t buy slabbed coins. It is the biggest scam going in ancients.</p><p><br /></p><p>I watched David Vagi on Pawn Stars, just recently, eye grade a group of coins (US coins,) told them the price.....and then told everyone that the pawn shop owner would need to spend about $500 grading the coins &quot;offically&quot; by NGC before he could sell them. So he low balled the price the seller could get, so he could fit in the $500 &#039;grading&quot; charge and make the whole thing look like a fair deal. Only the seller was going to get hurt in this transacton.</p><p><br /></p><p>This is just another example, of and endless stream, of junk marketing, about the imaginary value of an NGC graded slab for ancients.</p><p><br /></p><p>You were smart to ask here first.</p><p><br /></p><p>BTW Fun fact. NGC stands for Numismatic Guaranty Corporation (est 1987).................yet it offers no guaranty on ancients. Chew on that for awhile/[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
