[QUOTE="Bart9349, post: 1824785, member: 5682"]What a beautiful coin and a great piece of history. Geez. Leave it in the slab. First, you know that at least Dave Vagi and company think it is legit, no small thing. (This becomes especially important if you spend more than a few bucks, which you obviously did.) Second, its being in a slab makes for a beautiful and secure presentation. Honestly, I have very few friends that I would trust handling this coin unslabbed. If it's slabbed, however, you could pass it around a classroom of mature students to be admired and studied. Heck, I'd even trust my less-than-mature, inebriated buddies passing the coin around during halftime of a game. Third, the coin just sells more easily in a NGC slab, especially over the internet. About the grade? I agree that grading ancients (and even grading more modern coins) is subjective. That said, it looks to be of exceptional quality. It's a beautiful, beautiful piece of history. guy[/QUOTE]
