[QUOTE="Curtisimo, post: 2805791, member: 83845"]Welcome to the ancients forum [USER=88949]@JAncient77[/USER]! I hope you stick around and post some of your coins! As far as values I look at CNG as my main source for current market value. As to what the grade on the slab is I would advise you to ignore it and use your eyes. In ancient collecting the slab will only garner you a premium with inexperienced collectors. You must learn to trust you eyes and compare the coin you are researching with coins you see have sold in the past and make reasonable assumptions from there. Vcoins is a mixed bag on reasonable prices. CNG is an auction house so price will be dictated by who wants that coin right then. If two people want it bad enough the price goes up... and sometimes up and up and up. Best to always do your due diligence before making a purchase... but don't worry that is part of the fun! :) In honor of your first post below is my first ever ancient coin. [ATTACH=full]655378[/ATTACH] And again... welcome to CT ancients! [ATTACH=full]655379[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
