Are we looking at the right coin? I am an NGC member and when I looked up the coin I dont see any census data.
I don't know the answer to this. How do I find out?
I have tried to research it myself and details are unclear. I have read online that both proofs and unc were minted (and in high numbers). And...
I do plan to keep it at this point. I heard back from the dealer and he will reimburse me for the sale price of the coin, but not grading fees or...
AHA! So I did a few searches on this very site, and see what I found. I think my coin looks much better TBH...
Yes, I know its a medal (I should have clarified that), it was originally a design for a 5 mark coin, but was modified to make a commemorative...
Yes, proofs were definitely made (and in pretty good quantity too - not very rare). And it kills me that it was graded MS63. Not even a DPL......

I would like to ask for help/recommendations on the following situation. I recently purchased a Proof coin from a reputable dealer; it was...

I voted Roo. I think the maple leaf is kinda blah, but maybe that's just because the design has been around for so long and I am used to seeing...
Makes you want to start your own grading company....
Interesting point. I hadn't thought about the exposure to litigation risk.
I have a lot of German coins graded by NGC, and I have to say they have been very consistent in their grading. I have multiples of the same coins...
I concur with Doug and Medoraman. As I read your initial post, I was thinking of all the things I was going to type, but they beat me to it....
Do you think they randomly picked 1801? How did they come up with that date (being that it was 90 years off)? Some other folks have posted that...
They could have picked any date or none at all. Yet they picked 1801 for a reason. In my opinion it was to trick novice coin buyers as it looks...
Oh sure you can buy the alien coin, but then you need to buy the alien vending machine to use it in. How else are you going to get your alien...
