[QUOTE="Gam3rBlake, post: 8331407, member: 115909"]But I’m sure an Eid Mar aureus they’d spent lots of time looking at every single thing about it. I mean it’s true they could mess up but that’s exactly why the fees would be so high. How many expensive coins like that are in NGC holders now? Quite a few. But how often do we hear of them being later found to be fakes? I’ve never heard of it. Have you ever heard of a super expensive coin like this being slabbed and later determined fake? [ATTACH=full]1476832[/ATTACH] If it happened even 1% of the time we would have heard about it and it would be used as a great argument against slabbing coins so I imagine most people have never heard of it happening. Now that does not mean it never happens but it does mean it’s extremely extremely rare in which case even coins like the Eid Mar aureus and other million dollar ancients could be safely authenticated with plenty of money to cover those very very rare mistakes. Or better yet! Allow people the option of paying extra for an “authentication” service. That extra money would allow them to put aside a significant sum to cover any mistakes. Then the label could have “Authenticated” on it underneath the grade to show if that service has been paid for.[/QUOTE]
