I am willing to bet that most of you know this already.
NGC is developing what can be called a modified ancient coin condition
census based on the
ancient coins they have
certified. I say modified because I believe the parameters used to perform the
search will be quite broad. Also the draft format excludes condition scores which is a shame because value
wise an XF 4/5 – 4/5 is worth a lot more than an XF 2/5 – 2/5 (this should have a value equal to or less than a VF 3/3 – 3/3 based on my understanding of what Dave told me some time ago). Heritage is posting the
NGC condition
census for ancients they are auctioning but according to Dave what they are posting will not be the final version. Dave believes the final version will included data on coins designated to have “
Fine Style.” Just thought some of you might be interested in this.

Dick
