<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 2145793, member: 26302&quot;]Holy ripoff, NGC Fail both on grade and identification, Batman! First, only leptons are the &quot;widow&#039;s mites&quot;, not prutah. In ancient greek bibles the coin is even named as &quot;lepta&quot;. &quot;Mite&quot; came from the name of a tiny dutch copper coin in circulation in England at the time of King James rewriting of the Bible. A lepton is half the value of a prutah.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, completely wrong coin to start. Next, &quot;VF&quot; is HIGHLY laughable. I have never seen NGC so BADLY grade a coin. That coin pictured is g-vg, and effectively uncollectible in that grade. Third, even if it WERE a VF its not worth that much money. Get a real lepton from a dealer for 1/6th the price and have the real McCoy.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Man, now can you guys understand why ancient people HATE NGC slabs? They have no idea what they are doing and really only serve to rip unknowledgable collectors off. What a bunch of idiotic thieves. Seriously, next time I see David Vagi I will have to say something about this atrocity. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie3" alt=":(" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> He used to be a very nice dealer, and a good author on Roman coins.
