[QUOTE="Sallent, post: 2307764, member: 76194"]I remember these people now, they are the ones trying to get me to invest in ancients. :( Look at this theft, my $19 Diocletian Antoninianus, but harshly cleaned to within an inch of it's life and in a plastic slab, is $400 here. These people are thieves when it comes to ancients. I recall several weeks ago a thread laughing at their harshly cleaned bronze Romans selling on their website for 1000%+ their price with beautiful patina.

Any company that has the bad habit of severely cleaning ancient bronzes to the point of severely damaging them, then having them graded by NGC as VF or higher (another crime and shame on NGC) to unsuspecting people, [B]deserve nothing but condemnation[/B] in my book.[/QUOTE]
