<p>[QUOTE=&quot;savitale, post: 8115254, member: 95284&quot;]I think this is spot on with respect to the authenticity question. FYI, PCGS charges a 1% Guarantee Fee for expensive US and World coins. That is 1% of the value as published in the PCGS Price Guide, I believe. I assume NGC does the same. So for US and World coins, very roughly speaking they can get Authenticity (or grade) wrong 1 time out of 100 and still be OK. I imagine for ancients, NGC decided the risk is higher than one in one hundred for the reasons stated in Doug’s post, so a formal We’ll Buy Your Coin guarantee wasn’t practical. </p><p><br /></p><p>I do trust that NGC does not slab coins they believe are counterfeit or questionable. Maybe that is naive but I choose that approach.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
