<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fred13, post: 1612052, member: 20688&quot;]I think it really depends on the individual at the end of the day. I personally don&#039;t collect ancients; however I plan on obtaining a byzantinian Anastasius gold solidus for my world gold collection sometime in the future. As such the authenticity alone for me is worth more than all the other factors you mentioned. Plus(this is just my assumption) I assume the bid ask spreadsheets for a lot of ancients are probably very far from one another due to the narrow market. I would guess the third parties help narrow the margin if not just a little. </p><p><br /></p><p>Please keep in mind your reasons are all valid and I completely understand why you don&#039;t prefer stabbing. I simply believe it has its uses for other people. </p><p>The only point I would argue with you over is the attribution. If you collect ancients you should be aware of any mistakes on the slab if they appear. If this occurs you can send it back to NGC and to my knowledge they would reattribute it provided they made the mistake free of charge.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
