<p>[QUOTE=&quot;YoYoSpin, post: 1307574, member: 28100&quot;]Here is the question (from another forum) that prompted the NGC response:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Hope this is a proper request...would it be possible for NGC to confirm the following, and tell us...what if any action will be taken on graded coins from this set, to acknowledge the variety?</p><p><br /></p><p>There are several treads on other forums discussing the apparent variety contained in the 2011 (S) 25th Anniversary ASE set, specifically, the so-called &quot;Bullion&quot; no mint mark (burnished) coin. the 25th Anniversary &quot;Bullion&quot; coin appears to be different from common 2011 (S) coins from mint issued monster boxes, in two ways...1st, the finish. This photo shows a 25th Anniversary 2011 (S) in the center (burnished), surrounded by six coins (not burnished) taken directly from a 2011 (S) monster box:</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;<img src="http://yoyospin.com/pic3/2011ASE_bullion3c.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>The second difference is a marker found on the reverse, bottom of the middle tail feather. There is a small horizontal dent in the 25th Anniversary version. This dent is not found on the common bullion coins - see photos below:</p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;<img src="http://yoyospin.com/pic3/2011_Bullion_Ann1a.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>&nbsp;<img src="http://yoyospin.com/pic3/2011_Bullion1a.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p>If this is a true variety, it would mean that there are actually three different coins in the 25th Anniversary set that have mintages limited to 100,000...&quot;</p><p><br /></p><p>NGC&#039;s response:</p><p><br /></p><p>&quot;Thank you for the question. We will not be recognizing a new variety for the bullion coin in the 25th Anniversary Set. These coins will receive the 25th Anniversary Set pedigree if received in the sealed boxes, and that is enough distinction. There is otherwise no perceivable difference between the bullion coins from the set and from monster boxes.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
