Just came across this listing for a MS 69 spotted panda. NGC # is 3553692-052 Does the 3 denote that the coin was sent in to NCS first? OMG Look at the condition of that coin. http://www.ebay.com/itm/370615222472?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
Is a old discussion. The conclusion for now is: All the ncs coins have the first number 3 Not all first number 3 goto ncs first.
^ Good spot .. pun intended Not sure I agree with the way the seller has described that coin, 'near proof', 'rare Panda label, 'one or more white milk spots', and no mention of the toning (I assume that's toning).
I wonder if a person could send in a severely spotted graded MS69 Panda back to NGC for a refund/replacement?
My first ms69 2008 had one or two very faint little spots on it. Made me a little upset when I got it. Must be a bad year for it
