Great Wall of China

[mmissinglink]

anyone notice that the Beijing Palace is labeling by NGC as 2015 and the Greatwall is 2014.

wrong label again.

I was just checking out a bunch of NGC census reports on 2013 & 2014 of these types..

Descriptions / labeling are all over the place!


One medal issue might have like 2 or 3 different ones, making it that much more difficult to track.


Due to difference between NGC offices (China & USA)? Staff at one just creating new categories as they come in?


I've seen an 80g medal (not mine) labelled as a 2-oz coin!

NGC needs to get their act together on these.


Andrew: Any for sale?

If stark not buying it at whale price.

I need to sell around eBay price and charger at sgd.

Ship at buyer risk as usual.

Shouldn't you be using one of these after you'd written: "If stark not buying it at whale price." ? :/

Getting these large medals graded isn't cheap...I get that. The huge fatty slabs themselves are costly....but very cool to have in the hand.

Yes, I was just going to suggest the same thing that because NGC has offices in U.S. and Hong Kong, that could be why the differences.

Many of them are really dumb differences, too..


Like, "2014" vs. "(2014)"

Or..

"80g" vs. "45mm"

Or..

"MS" vs. "PF Matte"


Etc.


Yet the raw data is actually different between each, so one then has to total up each grade across all the description variations for that particular metal/alloy, in order to get the full picture. Becomes a bit maddening.


Same company grading the same medals.. One would assume they'd be on the "same page," no?

Just a joke....I am not greedy seller like the classical garden xie PF68 sell at USD 1000 plus for 2 oz silver.

I really like this medal very much especially after getting a surprising good grade from NGC. In fact I expect PF67 or PF687 highest.

I did make an offer to Stark weeks ago. I will honor it if the price agree between us.

I will grade my another set at June.
