<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Conder101, post: 1967145, member: 66&quot;]That shell was from the Nov 2004 to early 2008 period I believe.&nbsp; The coin was probably slabbed toward the end of that period and I believe before they &quot;officially&quot; started slabbing ancients.&nbsp; The edgeview holders for all coins was rolled out in Sept 2008, but did take awhile before all coins were in them.&nbsp; The grading of ancients did not begin officially until Jan 2009 some four months after the edgeviews began.&nbsp; And in NGC&#039;s announcements about the ancient coin grading they said that edgeview holders would be used whenever possible.&nbsp; The coin in question here is close enough to round that edgeviews should have been possible.&nbsp; Also NGC slabbed ancients normally come with a different type label.&nbsp; So again I suspect this coin was slabbed after Nov 2004 and BEFORE they began officially slabbing ancients.&nbsp; it was probably done for a major bulk submitter who was wanting to run a &quot;Coins of the Bible&quot; promotion.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
