[QUOTE="medoraman, post: 7456160, member: 26302"]Yes, they are good, but not superior to others. I trust a CNG flip as much, and maybe a Sear cert more. Decent point, but can be achieved other ways like auction or dealer attributions. Not to take anything at all away from Mr. Murphy, whom an entire generation of collectors starting in the Moneta-L days owe a huge debt of gratitude for all he did. Btw, the "carryover" was intentional IMHO by NGC. They are the ones whom entombed them just like US coins, and to this day almost all dealers I meet believe ancients certified by them are guaranteed genuine, including major players. Maybe the highest end dealer in MN I had to prove to him in his office how the guarantee did not apply to ancients.[/QUOTE]
