<p>[QUOTE="dougsmit, post: 3082669, member: 19463"]I see two major offences here. The photography was terrible and several people with no interest in the subject decided to make a joke out of the coin which is as labeled (assuming the faults are largely in the photography). I am one of those ancient collectors with no interest in slabs but this is not a slab unless someone has glued it shut. Many people house coins in plastic holders. Unless you are setting up a business in competition with NGC using pen and ink labels, I see nothing wrong with that. This appears to be a coin of Caligula made in the period listed with a reasonable chance of being called VF by many sellers. $2.50 each plus $3.50 postage is a bit steep but hardly extraordinary when it comes to pricing as traffic will bear. What made this worth posting?</p><p>[ATTACH=full]776529[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
