As I stated earlier, the pictures are of my coins. I am confident and will resist the urge to break them out.


I don't think you have anything to worry about - it sounds like NGC has a decent system to avoid fakes.

As many have said slabs are personal choice and most ancient collectors break them to handle the coins. One good thing about them is they do give people confidence when buying even if the first thing they do is break them out when they get their hands on them.

In 99.9% of cases I'd say break it out - in this case, considering the value of the coin and the benefit to resale of it being slabbed I'd say leave it where it is.

At least until the urge to hold it drives you crazy

goodstufftoo: You have gone through a process that needs to be applied to any valuable ancient coin.

Verification.

Keep all of the documemntation you have regarding these coins, including a hard copy of what you have found on the NGC website. If you need to sell these coins sometime in the distant future, your buyer will appreciate that.
