NGC Ancients: New 'economy' Tier For Ancient Coins

The following is an article excerpt from Coinweek

NGC now offers an especially cost-effective way to submit lower-value ancients

Coins of the ancient Greek and Roman world sometimes are expensive.

For example, in recent years two Greek silver coins were sold at auction by the firm Numismatica Ars Classica for more than $2.5 million each, and it is no longer unusual for extraordinary ancient coins to command six figures.

However, not all Greek and Roman coins are in the price stratosphere. In fact, the great majority of all ancient coins known today have collector values of less than $100 each. Such a friendly price-point allows collectors of all means to participate in our hobby, and to study the relics of bygone civilizations.

With this in mind, NGC has introduced an Economy tier for ancient coins.

As awareness of this streamlined service becomes more widely known, we expect this trend to continue.
