Do you know the difference between  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.

"Although we have yet to receive our ancient coin, we did not want to pass up to opportunity to comment and highly recommend this FIRST CLASS COIN EXPERT......lest we forget. Can't remember how many years we have been on Ebay, we are most grateful to Fred for his expertise and honesty and for one of our all time favorite buying experiences. We are not coin collectors BUT with the excellence of dealers such as Fred and his exquisite eye for quality, hands down he would be our 'go to.' 😊" 12/20/2023
