"What gives now? \nIn a conversation with my good coin dealer recently, he advised me to only buy slabbed coins and to have coins in my collection slabbed.  I purchased another XF 40 platinum ruble from him recently.  This is a three generation business that has been operating for over 40 years.So I took his advice and sent in four rubles purchased from him up to 18 years ago, before slabbing was a big deal.  Each is supposed to be about a third ounce of platinum.What should have been fast turn around took over a month.  And now I get the results back that the coins are of ?questionable authenticity.?It sounds like I am out of luck and might just as well pitch what were prized coins.  I have asked NGC for further information.   Anybody have any experience with this?  Thoughts and ideas?  This seems to be the ultimate ?body bag.?   \n"
