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 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.

Lucania
ANCIENT REGION, ITALY
Lucania
, ancient territorial division of southern Italy corresponding to most of the modern region of Basilicata, with much of the province of Salerno and part of that of Cosenza. Before its conquest by the Lucanians, a Samnite tribe, about the mid-5th century
BC
, it formed part of the Greek-dominated region of Oenotria.
Recent discoveries of elaborately painted graves at Paestum, a city taken by the Lucanians about 400, suggest that by the 4th century
BC
the tribe had developed a culture of great vitality and distinction. Although they allied with Rome in 298, the Lucanians opposed and were defeated by that power in the Pyrrhic War (280–275), the Second Punic War (218–201), and the Social War (90–88).
The founding of a number of colonies of Roman citizens on confiscated land in the late 2nd and early 1st centuries
BC
led to a growth of population and prosperity in the late Roman Republic and early Roman Empire. In the 3rd century
AD
, economic and social problems brought about the area’s decline.
