I never knew ANACS did ancients. I've only seen NGC Ancients slabs. The owl is beautiful!

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Question for anyone... Why not just have CAC grading company grade your coins in the first place? I know everyone is all about having a PCGS holder and a truview image online. But since they switched ownership. The main guy who did the images is gone and they have not been good lately. The main good graders are gone and there are countless videos of people having issues with reliable grading, consistency and experience. It's like the put in adds for all the good positions in the l.a. times comedy chat line. I know most people grade thru PCGS or NGC then go for the CAC sticker. So again, why not just go thru CAC grading from the start?

I have seen some silver coins sell at online auction. Medium quality level that takes everything from cheap to expensive. Some of the silver coins there look squeaky clean and brushed in same direction as from rotating brush. I am appalled that it isn't mentioned when they sell it. Is it because everyone can see it if they aren't dumb and born yesterday?

@@typeviic1 @cgcoins3639 Serious ancient numismatists don't slab their coins in general. Ancient coins have spent millennia buried in the ground, so ancient collectors aren't fretting over scratches, bagmarks, fingerprints etc. The only people that send ancient coins for grading are primarily US coin collectors that merely "dabble" in ancients. Unlike US coins, the grade isn't that important for ancient coins. There are multiple other factors that impact an ancient coins value such as die alignment (centering), surface quality, planchet quality, strike, ownership history/provenance, and die artistry. Possibly the most important factor determining an ancient coin's value is die artistry. Keep in mind, ancient coins were struck with hand engraved dies. The level of artistry for each coin differs depending on who engraved the dies. Two coins of the same type can look drastically different. Collectors prefer ancient coins with realistic, expressive portraits over examples with crude, cartoonish portraits. If you have two coins of the same type and grade, whichever one has more artistic dies will hammer for more at auction.

Those are lovey and historically interesting coins. I particularly like the Greek Tetradrachm. A coin dealer in Australia sold a raw one earlier this month described as in “About EF” condition for AUD$1,950, so around US$1,290. It sold within a day or two of listing.

What did they clean them in? Wouldn't every single coin from that era have coloration regardless if it is gold even? Especially the silver stuff is suss as hell

After seeing yours I couldn't stand it any longer so I bought one, well actually I won it in an auction. I think it's a decent price. $745 . NGC graded 5/5 strike & 4/5 surface. I'm in the Greek game with you now 👍😁 I'm referring to the Tetradrachm.

I suggest you check out Heritage auctions they run ancients about 2 times a month. There are 8 of those up for auction now. I believe they will only take NGC in ancients though. It is remarkably round for an ancient of that time. Guessing you bought it from a reputable dealer? Or taking a chance:)

@rockysramblings Ай бұрын

It was a reputable dealer in London

@MrMonkeySwag96 10 күн бұрын

Why Heritage? Classical Numismatics Group (CNG) is by far more renowned for ancient coins. In addition, there are other auction houses on sites like Biddr, Sixbid, and Numisbids that have less fees

BI on the broken coin means its a very, very cheap mixture of metals with silver..but very little silver. The Tetradrachm in my opinion is absolutely stunning and the big winner ! I've been trying to buy one for a while, they're just too expensive for this country boy. Its a extremely desirable and sought after greek coin. Congratulations! Ancient coins are freaking confusing, I've been collecting them for only a few months. Also, AR on the Tetradrachm means Silver . AV is gold, BI is billon like pot metal (broken coin)

@rockysramblings 5 ай бұрын

Cool! Thanks for the info! I really don’t know much about the ancients but they are cool. That Tetradrachm is definitely the winner. It’s the quality that makes it worth so much. That’s also why I was concerned if it was real or not.

@MrMonkeySwag96 10 күн бұрын

@@rockysramblings technically the Roman Egypt coin of emperor Antoninus Pius is a tetradrachm as well. It's a debased Tetradrachm, hence why its made of billon (BI). Billon has a higher ratio of copper relative to silver within the alloy. The Roman Egyptian Tetradrachms can only circulate within Egypt, they're prohibited from leaving Egypt's borders. Likewise, other Roman currency such as the silver Denarius are unable to circulate in Egypt. Egypt's economy was more tightly controlled by the Roman emperor relative to other provinces within the Empire.

Never heard of that gradung company for ancients. You might want to send to NGC for better and acceptable grading.

@MrMonkeySwag96 10 күн бұрын

It's a waste of time to send low value ancient coins to grading in general. Slabs aren't popular in the ancient coin hobby. Keep in mind, NGC's website states that they don't guarantee the authenticity of ancient coins, they only guarantee the grade. NGC wouldn't slab an ancient coin they think is fake, but they aren't liable in the rare case the coin turns out to be fake. That's why it's important for collectors to practice due diligence and do extensive research on ancient coins. Rather than relying solely on NGC's opinions, it's best to purchase ancient coins that have a long ownership history and a pedigree of passing through multiple reputable auction houses and dealers.

You’d think that if it was broken while trying to slab it, they’d slab both pieces together anyway. Hopefully they didn’t charge you, at least…

@spartanumismatics8165 5 ай бұрын

I would not blame anacs at all. Its not expensive coin 100 to maybe what you paid. Ive been collecting ancients foe a bit. Most likely the broken coin happened in transit because it was crystallized. Which happens depending on where the silver coin was originally found. It makes them superrr fragile. Ive had a couple that broke in the mail.

@rockysramblings 5 ай бұрын

I don’t want to blame them but not knowing what really happened makes it hard not to question. I managed to bring it all the way back from London without it breaking 🤷🏼‍♂️

Anacs slabs look awful .. always scratched up.. as for damage. I just got a coin back.. It was one of the first minted.. pre - ordered .. and was perfect when I sent it.. come back 3-4 months later .. scratched in multiple areas... (NGC) didn't look like the coin I sent in ... but grading companies are never going to hold their hands up and admit to damage.. as they'd have to issue compensation... 🤬
