Message:: [QUOTE="lordmarcovan, post: 2522955, member: 10461"][USER=81896]@Deacon Ray[/USER]- I like your style, and what you do. And if you want to slab those widow's mites and such, go right ahead.  They look classy like that.  But it is costly! I will, however, point out that if you buy from a dealer like FORVM Ancient Coins, you'll get a very nice flip holder with a printed insert that has all the data, even more than an NGC slab insert.  Very professional looking, for that aura of authenticity (which FORVM does in fact offer an umbrella guarantee on), and they'll sometimes mention the bible verse or the history on the label, too. If you haven't bought from them, you should check them out.  I think their holders have that respectable look without having to spend all that money on NGC plastic and then wait for the grading.  The experts at FORVM have as much or more clout than those at NGC, too. But whatever you decide, good for you. In fact, if you continue to slab your ancients, I'm looking for someone I can "piggyback" a few of my coins with, since I usually only have one or two or at a time to go, and my NGC membership has lapsed. PS- I am not a shill for FORVM and have no affiliation with them, aside from having been a customer a few times.  They are one of the better dealers out there, but there are plenty of other good ones.  Marc Breitsprecher of Ancient Imports also provides nice printed flips with his coins for the "professional" look.[/QUOTE]
