<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2596340, member: 19463&quot;]You may find it funny but I believe that is the best course of action for this coin.&nbsp; Mssrs Vagi and Murphy are considerably more capable of rendering a valuable opinion on the coin than is Mr. Clay working from a photo and memory even if he was the cataloger of the Gemini coin.&nbsp; I can not see any fragment in that coin that could expand to Pudicitia although the figure clearly is. The Gemini coin was listed as somewhat smoothed; perhaps both were more what we now would call tooled.&nbsp;&nbsp; If it were to be submitted, I would suggest that a note be enclosed pointing out the existence of the Gemini coin which does seem to share the dies.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>While I do not agree at any level with the slabbing of ancient coins and many of the NGC standards and practices (especially abandoning traditional grading), I believe deriding the professionals employed there as &quot;(NGC)—<i>for laughs&quot; </i>clearly does is wholly inappropriate.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
