Hello all: I’ve been working on a low-mid grade
collection of
Marc Antony’s
Legionary issues. All
NGC slabbed so far. I’d rather be able to touch the coin, but until I can find some with dealers I know (like here on
FORVM) I feel safer
buying third party authenticated coins. Bought this Legion III at
auction recently.
NGC grades it VG and notes bankers marks and scratches. I understand
NGC won’t grade a
tooled coin. But note the
area around the III and compare the wear (or possibly clogged die strike) in the lower portion of the
standard to the right. Under 10X the III appears a little
incuse, but can’t tell for sure through the plastic. Any real concern about tooling here or am I just being paranoid?
Thanks in advance for your input.
Ken
