<p>[QUOTE=&quot;lordmarcovan, post: 4802512, member: 10461&quot;]For the record, I did once send a Roman coin back to NGC because they had encapsulated it reverse-forward.</p><p><br /></p><p>I got a letter from David Vagi explaining that they usually holdeted that particular issue (the Judaea Capta denarius) with the reverse (the Judaea Capta side) facing forward in the slab, since it was such a popular type.</p><p><br /></p><p>OK, that makes some sense, and it It was nice of him to take the time to explain that.&nbsp; (And they fixed it.)&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>But since that coin was part of my Twelve Caesars collection, I needed the obverse side (with its portrait of the emperor Vespasian) facing forward, to match the 11 other emperor portraits in my set.&nbsp; A portrait collection looks a little stupid when one is slabbed the wrong way &#039;round!</p><p><br /></p><p>So I get it when it comes to being picky about details like that.&nbsp; Call me OCD, but details DO count.</p><p><br /></p><p>I don&#039;t think it is unreasonable for someone to want their coins to be straight in their holders, and not facing the wrong way &#039;round.</p><p><br /></p><p>So yeah.&nbsp; I get that part.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1166305[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1166306[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
