<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3072150, member: 19463&quot;]Ancient coins are a poor subject for people who require absolutes of any kind. There are too many types, too many variables of strike and preservation and too many opinions that may just be correct.&nbsp; I respect, even admire, the two graders of ancients at NGC but that does not mean I agree with their every call on every coin. The vast majority of coins in their slabs are what the say they are and can be traded by people who know nothing about the subject.&nbsp; They started slabbing ancients to open the hobby to the market share of buyers who do not know the coins.&nbsp; That may be good.&nbsp; What they accomplished is opening the hobby to those who have no interest or intention of ever learning.&nbsp; I can not put a good spin on that one.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
