[QUOTE="Barry Murphy, post: 7829930, member: 79368"]For some reason the coin isn’t ringing a bell, but if the slab says edge filing you can bet someone has actually taken a file to the edge. It’s not just a scratch and not natural edge folds. Because the edge can be difficult to see, or even hidden by the prongs, edge problems are always mentioned on they label. the coin on the front and back is a 3 surface, so the edge issues were enough to lower the surface grade. It’s a 3 due to the horn silver, roughness right of the bee, and small cut on the reverse in the left field. concerning pedigree, it’s up to the submitter if we put the pedigree on the label. The fact that Heritage didn’t mention the important pedigrees isn’t a reason to dislike slabs. NGC had nothing to do with that. That’s on Heritage. concerning the price…. Is this the 4th finest known Ephesus tet? At it’s current price, only 3 have sold for more on Coin archives. CNG sold a significantly nicer coin in 2020 for $7200. Is the pedigree really worth $7000, more than the value of the coin itself? barry Murphy[/QUOTE]
