[QUOTE="sand, post: 7807093, member: 118540"]You make some interesting points. I'm not an expert, in ancient coins, or any other types of coins. I'm just an ordinary collector of ancient coins, and a few other types of coins. What you say, seems like it may be especially true for NGC slabbed ancient coins, to a certain extent. And maybe even for raw coins, to a certain extent. In my opinion, for raw coins especially, and perhaps even for NGC slabbed ancient coins to some extent, some dealers, the dealers who are very knowledgeable about the types of coins they sell, and who are honest, and who care enough to carefully check the coins they sell for authenticity, provide the additional service of authenticating the coins, that they sell. Certain internet dealers who sell ancient coins on Vcoins, for example. And other internet dealers, who are known to be honest, and knowledgeable about the coins they sell, and who care enough to carefully check the coins they sell for authenticity. My local brick-and-mortar dealers seem to be knowledgeable about the US coins they sell, but not so knowledgeable about ancient coins. Other dealers seem to be either dishonest, or are not very knowledgeable about the types of coins they sell, or don't care enough to carefully check the coins they sell for authenticity. For those dealers, perhaps I tend to agree with you, that they don't provide a useful service, other than acting as "coin brokers".[/QUOTE]
