I am gaining knowledge day by day but due to a time limit, as well as starting a little late in life, I lack the resources to learn a tenth of what he knows about ancient coins.


I am always back and forth on whether or not I would want to do this professionally. On the one hand it would be awesome but would I tire of it? I like being able to go home after a work day and read about coins.

Can you imagine having those resources though? I bet they have one heck of a library.

apparently, an NGC slabbed ancient coin that is not ancient will generally sell for twice the price of a genuine coin from a point of someone wanting to own an 'NGC mistake coin'


This actually doesn't surprise me at all. I know of a couple people who collect the different slabs that third party graders have put out.

excellent debate here on the subject of slabbed ancients..Due to the large ammount of faked gold staters on ebay and the market I decided that I would get mine certified so I could sell it easier..The buyer can always crack it out and if I cant sell it slabbed then I can do the same and sell it raw...I glad NGC gives a good option for dealing with the problem of counterfeiting and I understand the cynicism in the ancient Coin World about grading these coins moist of which have been cleaned anyways....remember..you can always crack it out. The fact that NGC fakes sell for a premium does say something about their accuracy.
