<p>[QUOTE=&quot;7Jags, post: 13417723, member: 78719&quot;]I recently bought at auction a very nice gold Cook Islands 1976FM 100 Dollars. NGC graded it “MS68” but this is a (M) matte strike with original Mintage of 50. It is not designated as such and was bought at bullion. </p><p>The problem is that the TPGs will on some occasion identify it correctly, other times call it “matte”, other times as “matte proof” and other times like with the OP coin do not identify at all. The other uncirculated type is (U) or prooflike unc which was minted in the thousands and is clearly different (I will post this type in post to follow)</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1529810[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1529811[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
