Do you know the different NGC’s “economy” grading and FULL SERVICE grading?
Economy grading is cheaper
because NGC, with economy grading at cheaper fee, does not  grade the coin’s Strike or Surface Qualities.
Also, under economy grading, NGC
does not
identify any of the coin’s damages (scratches, flan flaws, clipping, dents, bent, etc.).
Full Service grading costs a lot more, but I know it’s definitely worth the extra money!
Full grading
is the ONLY NGC grading
that fully discloses the coin’s TRUE quality AND the ONLY service I 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’s the way it ought to be done!

I mark the item PAID IN FULL on eBay ..
this way eBay gets their 15% Fee … NOW.
I then send you an invoice for the 15% .. You ONLY pay the 15% invoice I send. Then, you let me know via PayPal when to send a request for additional funds … FOR ANY AMOUNT YOU CHOOSE. I then send you a request via PayPal for the amount you tell me. I hold the item until paid in full.  Pretty Simple.

Rhegium

Vibo Valentia
were important Roman cities of Bruttium. The region passed to Byzantium after the fall of Rome and became known as Calabria

NGC ENCAPSULATED COINS
All of our coins are sold encapsulated - (with
FULL
: Grading; Strike Quality; Surface Quality and Attribution) - in NGC holders. Such coins have been evaluated, graded and encapsulated by NGC Ancients. This is a valuable service because it allows for the coin to be protected and presented in a very attractive way, but most
importantly NGC Ancients does not encapsulate any coins that in their opinion are fakes, of uncertain authenticity or have been repaired.
For collectors who might not like encapsulated coins, please be aware that the NGC holders can be opened and the coin safely removed.
Please NOTE:
All goods shipped overseas will be declared at full value and it is the responsibility of the buyer to comply with all customs regulations/taxes in their country.
Overseas shipments are NOT FREE.
Costs of shipping and insurance – at our cost - will be the responsibility of the buyer
