<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 2077390, member: 19463"]I disagree. There are coins that are certainly authentic and coins that are certainly fake but there are also those that would be sent to ten different 'experts' and get some 'votes' each way. I would love to know whole story here but this coin is a lot like some politicians here in Virginia who did not admit guilt but entered an 'Alford' plea: that there was enough evidence to convict them of their crimes. Real or fake, this slab suggests that we should add this type to the ones we watch very closely and buy at risk. I own coins that I do not feel 100% confident about even though I bought them from experts and honest dealers. I did not, before now, know that all my Pantikapaions should be on that list. Is there anything 'wrong' with this coin? It will never be sold openly again without a question. Whose word would I accept over NGC? I hope to see someone at Baltimore on March 28 that I can ask for the rest of this story.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
