Do Ancient Coins Need Third Party Grading?
Harlan J. Berk, Sam Spiegel, & David Vagi, Interviewer: David Lisot, CoinWeek.com……….
Grading ancient coins is still an area of controversy. Old school numismatics believes that coins of antiquity are meant to be held and appreciated in a tactile fashion. Third party grading is changing that perspective. Now ancients can be graded by an independent third party with their grade and authenticity guaranteed. Many new collectors see this as an advantage to their collecting. Hear some of the industry experts share their views.
