<p>[QUOTE=&quot;snewman, post: 2076973, member: 31036&quot;]Guys, </p><p>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; I know a number of you fall on the anti-tomb side, but I really felt I needed to get a few coins slabbed for protection/investment.&nbsp; I was very pleased with 4 of the grades (Vespasian Judea Capta came back as a VF* 5/5 4/5).&nbsp; More on that later if you like.</p><p><br /></p><p>I had one open slot on my &quot;free&quot; order and tossed in an old coin from Panticapaeum with a sturgeon and lion on it.&nbsp; I was always fond of it since it was one of my first ancients about 10 years ago.</p><p><br /></p><p>I attributed it as Sear 1701, but NGC body-bagged it and called it &quot;Authenticity unverifiable.&quot;&nbsp; Thoughts on that term?&nbsp; I&#039;ve read a bunch of various opinions, but I&#039;m still not sure if that mean they think it could be fake or they simply can&#039;t attribute it? It took them about 6 weeks to process these.&nbsp; Also, does NGC dip ancients for any reason?&nbsp; The coin was a beautiful dark chocolate brown when it went in, but is has a slightly green tint to it now.</p><p><br /></p><p>I didn&#039;t spend a ton of time on the photos -- </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]385656[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
