This is a rare 1842 Braubunden 4-Franken Shooting Festival in Chur, I picked up on Ebay. These are rare and part of the first Shooting Talers in Switzerland with very low mintage. In my opinion, a real beauty. Richter 836a AU-50 NGC Mintage 6,000
What in the world....I am totally confused here. Pretty coin but what is going on between the different grades?
NGC Certification inconsistency http://www.ngccoin.com/certlookup/CertResults.aspx?CertNumber=3299125-001 Seems that the NGC Verifier shows it as AU-50 with the SAME slab ID number. 2 options: 1) Slab is not authentic 2) NGC allocated the same number to the coins which look very similar. I believe #2 is really not likely as we are talking about the same coin see toning and spots. I can not explain this.
It was a joke that stone played. He really should have mentioned it firstly. Don't pay a serious mind to what he posted.
