[QUOTE="Mr.MonkeySwag96, post: 8332304, member: 100951"][QUOTE="there’s an $18 upcharge for variety identification on US coins [/QUOTE] Yeah, I know there’s an upcharge to identify the Browning, Overton, VAM varieties of US coin types. My question is why doesn’t NGC Ancients offer a similar upcharge to attribute the RIC types of Roman coins? Also why doesn’t NGC identify the mints and officinae (workshops) of Roman coins? I don’t get why NGC Ancients requires an upcharge for basic information such as indicating the coin’s weight on the slab label. If anything requires an upcharge, it should be the identification of a Roman coin’s RIC or Crawford type. I think a basic level submission should at least include information regarding weight, diameter, and die orientation, with extra charges for RIC attribution as well as the mint and officina (workshop) that produced the coin.[/QUOTE]
