[QUOTE="Carthago, post: 2275302, member: 76111"]My advice is this and please don't let me sound like I'm coming off rude. Sell it. If you don't love it from the start, rarely do you learn to love it later. I agree with you, it's over graded and I see that far more often than under grading with NGC. With ancients, more than anything, you must buy the coin and not the slab. I've really screwed myself over the years trusting the slab and telling myself it will look better in hand. It rarely does. I'm done buying slabbed coins unless I view it in hand first, and even then, I run the risk of an edge cut that is covered. A coin should captivate you from the start. It should speak to you in a language only you understand. When you learn to listen to your coin, you will NEVER regret owning it. This coin doesn't speak to you so get rid of it to someone it does. Lots of people will love it even if you don't. And when you do buy a slabbed coin that you love, break it out and hold it as it has been meant to be enjoyed for millennia.[/QUOTE]
