<p>[QUOTE=&quot;panzerman, post: 2969857, member: 77704&quot;]I just read this thread. I only have 4 slabbed ancients, all the rest are graded by auction houses. I know these are real, since reputable auction firms want to be 100 percent certain the coins they have in their catalogue are 1/ authentic 2/ accurately graded. Their reputation depends on this. I still find that esp. for hammered coinage, slabbed graded are very liberal. I seen a Heritage France Charles VII Royal d&#039;or slabbed as a MS-65 (GEM), it would make EF in CNG auction. I had a Mexican 1 Escudo 1837-GA (CNG grade AU) make MS-67 when I had it slabbed to prove my point. My feeling is this/ if your worried about fakes/ poor grading/ stay far away from E-Bay/ unless you know the seller is OK.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
