<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Sallent, post: 2280051, member: 76194&quot;]What NGC did is a crime, they slab ancients at $50 a pop, which means a common ancient coin that was worth $50 is now being sold for $105 by the dealer&nbsp; to cover slabbing and shipping to NGC, and its also true that NGC over grades Ancients, which means that VG common ancient will get an XF from them....did&nbsp; I say $105 earlier? Better make that $50 coin a $150 coin thanks to NGC. And maybe they&#039;ll start doing special limited edition collectors labels, like they do for US coins, so that common ancient from my example will have a Wyatt Earp special label. What does Whyatt Earp have to do with it? Absolutely nothing, but you&#039;ll now have to pay $170 for the coin because of it...so there, a $50 coin became a $179 coin with the addition of some plastic. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie9" alt=":eek:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, and now that it is slabbed in the special Whyatt Earp label, your common $50 ancient can be sold on the home shopping network to someone whom those coin sharks just sold a $15 Bullion coin for $50. Which means your $50 ancient coin really went for $225 to some gullible guy watching TV, and all thanks to NGC magic plastic with pixie dust.</p><p><br /></p><p>And oh yeah, they do not guarantee that the coin is authentic either... so what on earth are you paying for other than a piece of plastic to hold it in?</p><p><br /></p><p>From now on any ancient I can snag for the right price, that so happens to be in a slab, will get busted out. This is war! Death to slabs![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
