<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Gam3rBlake, post: 7667008, member: 115909&quot;]I just got my package of auction wins from Heritage Auctions and I noticed something weird.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1317606[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Despite the fact that both of these coins are denarii only the Antoninus Pius denarius has a weight (3.55g) while the Trajan one does not.</p><p><br /></p><p>Why is this?</p><p><br /></p><p>Does NGC charge an additional fee to put the weight on the slab or something?</p><p><br /></p><p>I always imagined they weighed every coin just as one of many checks for authenticity.</p><p><br /></p><p>Sure they don’t “guarantee” authenticity but I’m sure they do their best to keep obvious counterfeits out of NGC slabs by weighing every coin right?</p><p><br /></p><p>Like if a denarius has a weight of 6 grams it’s obviously fake since even the heaviest denarii would not weigh 6 grams even with variances in the weight due to imperfections and such.</p><p><br /></p><p>If anyone happens to know why some coins have the weight and others do not I’d appreciate it <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.</p><p><br /></p><p>Thanks![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
