[QUOTE="tenacious, post: 1612353, member: 14553"]The one benefit NGC slabbed ancients would have, especially for new collectors, is their guaranteed authenticity. But wait a minute! NGC does [U]not[/U] guarantee authenticity of their slabbed ancients. From: [URL]http://www.ngccoin.com/ancients[/URL] - [I] "Authenticity and attribution represent the opinion of NGC Ancients and are not guaranteed, nor is any guarantee implied."[/I] You can read the NGC Ancients Coin Grading Guarantee from a link on that page. Whereas NGC slabbed US and World coins are guaranteed authentic. From: [URL]http://www.ngccoin.com/services/writtenguarantee.aspx[/URL] - "All US and World coins and all tokens and medals certified and encapsulated by NGC are guaranteed authentic." What a racket. Yes you pay for slabbing, grading and authentication of ancients, but if the coin later turns out to be a fake - you're out of luck. So what exactly did you pay for? So called "grading", and a piece of plastic.[/QUOTE]
