Slabs are for people who either know nothing about ancients or for sellers looking to capitalize on high attributes NGC place on the holder. Also NGC does not guarantee authenticity on ancient coins but we do so I need to make sure they are real before offering them and can't tell 100% until it is out of the holder. If the entire market accepted ancient coins in holders and there were standards for pricing in holders I would do it. This is not the case so all your paying for is one or two people's opinion. To me this is not what ancient coins is about. Remember slabbing is an American creation and is not accepted everywhere. So by offering ancient coins in holders I am only hoping to do one thing. Make more money off the plastic. I cannot do that and feel good sleeping at night."</p><p><br /></p><p>For your second question, yes I had some competition, less than I expected for thios one though, but that is not uncommon as soon as the coins go up into the 4 figure area and above.</p><p><br /></p><p>And for the third, this one time I slammed in a pretty high max bid in advance, mainly cause I wasn't able to bid live due to work.
