<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Suarez, post: 3461749, member: 99239&quot;]Heh! While I wouldn&#039;t do this, and I think it&#039;s safe to say you&#039;re in the minority of collectors who like slabbed ancients, there are undeniable benefits. While from what I remember NGC doesn&#039;t come out and say they <i>certify</i>, as in explicitly vouch for authenticity, I doubt their ancient coin guy (coin guys?) is a newbie. NGC certainly has the budget to get top-rated experts to avoid the embarrassment of slabbing fakes. I have to assume that in their business plan for the ancients section they took this aspect into account as a primary mission.</p><p><br /></p><p>More importantly, your coins will be safer behind the inert plastic than they would be out in the open. Even the staunchest anti-slabbers among us must cringe on the occasion of dropping one of our coins on the floor or see their kids handle a coin with Cheetos-covered fingers.... things that don&#039;t happen when the coin is locked up. If nothing else, the coins will not deteriorate in there and that&#039;s an important plus.</p><p><br /></p><p>Oh, and the fact that if that that NGC plastic will result in an extra bid or two on ebay, at least, making the expense potentially an investment![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
