paralyse Bedrock of the Community United States 12057 Posts	Posted 05/24/2016 10:37 pm 381642010248 The end times are near... "MS-62" Victorinus AE Ant! I don't think ANA grading standards were around in the 3rd c. AD but you never know... The scourge of Coin Collectors everywhere is now roaming the hallowed volumes of RIC...cover your As, hide your sestertius in the basement, & then get the denarius out of here before it's too late.

maridvnvm Pillar of the Community United Kingdom 2100 Posts	Posted 05/31/2016 05:25 am He has dabbled with ancients for a few years. I bought a couple of items from him and the slabs live up to expectations in that they fell apart in the envelope en-route to me. His grading is awful but as long as you are buying these for the coin and know what you are looking at then he can occasionally work out. Martin Report this Post to the Staff
Cascade Pillar of the Community United States 7390 Posts	Posted 05/31/2016 08:36 am NNC is run out of the basement of a scourge on the numismatic community. A one time winner of PCGS grading contests that went to the dark side and started slabbing cleaned coins in high ms grades to sell online. He goes by centsles on ebay Report this Post to the Staff
