[QUOTE="TIF, post: 3025281, member: 56859"]Okay, I have a better sense of where you're at now. Clearly the best strategy for you, given your primary concerns and goals, is to establish a relationship with a dealer who can represent you at auctions, broker deals, and otherwise guide you towards purchases which fit your desires. The fee charged will be trivial in the scheme of things and will allow you peace of mind. Just a couple of final thoughts though: surfaces of ancient coins generally aren't "original", at least not in the way collectors of moderns think, and NGC, which is by far the best of the few ancient coin slabbing services, [URL='https://www.ngccoin.com/specialty-services/ancient-coins/']does not guarantee authenticity of the coins they slab [/URL](although of course they try to avoid slabbing fakes).[/QUOTE]
