Do you know the different NGC - Economy Grading and NGC "FULL SERVICE" Grading?
Economy grading is cheaper
because NGC, with economy grading at cheaper fee, does not  grade the coins Strike or Surface Qualities.
Also, under economy grading, NGC
does not
identify any of the coins damages (scratches, flan flaws, clipping, dents, bent, etc.).
Full Service grading costs a lot more, but I know it is definitely worth the extra money!
Full grading
is the ONLY NGC grading
that fully discloses the coins TRUE quality AND the ONLY service we use from NGC
.
Full grading gives the buyer FULL disclosure about the coin BEFORE the buyer buys the coin and finds out about these flaws later. And do you know what?
That is the way it ought to be done!
We specialize in High Grade and Scarce ancient coins that possess
extraordinary
Eye Appeal. And ONLY coins that are Fully Disclosed NGC Graded and
Encapsulated
If you are looking for the finest examples for your collection ... you're at the right place.

eBay is simply littered with an
Extremely
High Percentage
(Estimates as High as 50+%)
of FAKE; COPIED; and, COUNTERFEIT ANCIENT COINS.

We are sure you will be pleased, as in most cases, the item is actuality nicer than the photos. In fact, for example, our photos of coins often do not portray them in their true beauty, as mint luster and colorful toning are not captured well. As always, your satisfaction is guaranteed, backed by our "no hassle" 14 day return privilege.
