<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sand, post: 8185122, member: 118540&quot;]Unlike modern coins, every ancient coin looks different, because of variations in the flan shape, the die style, the die wear, the strike, and the coin wear. Therefore, for ancient coins, if one can lookup photos of the coin, on the NGC web site, using the NGC lookup number that was on the removed slab, then one can be pretty sure, that it is the same coin, which was authenticated (NGC doesn&#039;t guarantee authenticity for ancient coins, but it is a pretty good bet, that it is authentic) by NGC. For me, for ancient coins, slabs are good for only 1 thing : authentication. That&#039;s why, I remove my ancient coins, from the slab, but I keep the NGC lookup number.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
