My favourite is the Hedgehog, so cute!
Any hint what will be next coin in series? I'm so curious

Alex.

 

I managed to get two Hedgehog coins.So I decided to sent one to NGC for grading . I have never seen this coin in slab. I paid 200 euro for each... so if the grade will be low, I still have original capsule,COA and box.

I will update you,once I receive it.

 

Please let us know of the outcome. I have only seen this series in a PCGS slab graded at 67. Maybe because of the antique finish?

 

I contacted NGC earlier in the year wanting to grade a whole set, but they told me they don't grade them anymore because the crystal eyes have trouble fitting into the holders, and it has caused problems? PCGS, however, were OK with grading.

 

hi friends! congratulations! mongolia owl won Most Popular Coin of the Year and has chance to win COTY 2013 which results will be announced early February 2013.

Hi SS
I received 2012 Long-eared Hedgehog coin from NGC yesterday graded PF69.

I have some question regarding NGC

How can I check how many of these coins NGC graded?
I read that first I have to open account in NGC, then I will have access to this data.
Can anybody provide this information.


Thank you for any help.

 

If you are a member you can access population cencus reports.
Otherwise fire me a PM with your NGC cert # and i will find out for you.

 

ok

 

Hi SS
Here is my Long Eared Hedgehog graded by NGC PF 69.
I need your help to find out population of this coin, cencus reports.



Thank you in advance.

 

I thought ngc didn't grade coins with stones in them? Did they make an exception for the wildlife series? Or do away with that rule?

 

I thought the same. I wouldn't mind slabbing my wolverine, owl, and hedgehog.

 

"Population data not available" is the message I get when I log in as a NGC member. Maybe yours is the first coin submitted at this stage.

 

Me too. I had a full set ready to send to NGC, and they told me they don't slab them anymore. :/ Here is the email:

 

I submitted this coin in September by my local dealer. After one month my coin was sent, I read this post. So I called NGC to find out is it true... they said they had some problems with slabs, but now they grade these coins(as you can see).

 

Good to know. Thanks
