<p>[QUOTE=&quot;AncientJoe, post: 3759586, member: 44357&quot;]Heritage has been having many of their lots issued just with a photo certificate from NGC, saying you can get it slabbed by contacting one of their employees. I suspect this may be because of some backlash by dealers who said they weren&#039;t able to view the coin for lotviewing and therefore couldn&#039;t render a fully informed opinion (which is a very, very valid issue).</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not sure if there are extra hoops involved for us mere mortals but it is at least a possibility. (See this lot as an example, not my coin unfortunately: <a href="https://coins.ha.com/itm/roman-imperial/ancient-coins-roman/ancients-augustus-27-bc-ad-14-av-aureus-195mm-692-gm-6h-ngc-photo-certificate-au-5-5-3-5-fine-style/a/3066-30093.s?ic4=GalleryView-ShortDescription-071515" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://coins.ha.com/itm/roman-imperial/ancient-coins-roman/ancients-augustus-27-bc-ad-14-av-aureus-195mm-692-gm-6h-ngc-photo-certificate-au-5-5-3-5-fine-style/a/3066-30093.s?ic4=GalleryView-ShortDescription-071515" rel="nofollow">https://coins.ha.com/itm/roman-imperial/ancient-coins-roman/ancients-augustus-27-bc-ad-14-av-aureus-195mm-692-gm-6h-ngc-photo-certificate-au-5-5-3-5-fine-style/a/3066-30093.s?ic4=GalleryView-ShortDescription-071515</a> )[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
