Message:: [QUOTE="mlov43, post: 8580152, member: 16729"]UPDATE: I finally got examples of these varieties graded by NGC! To recap the issue:  I contacted NGC in August 2021 to ask that they recognize two "date spacing" varieties of the South Korean 1969 Five-Won and submitted examples to them for grading.  They told me to kick rocks. Then, a collector in Korea somehow got NGC to attribute the two date spacing varieties back in December 2021, and as of last week, I now have a few examples with the variety noted on the slab tag. These are now "officially recognized by NGC" varieties of this date! My "Wide Spaced Date" variety coin is just one of FOUR (so far) of this rarer date variety from S. Korea in the NGC Census (Wide Spaced Date 1969 Five-Won).[ATTACH=full]1511992[/ATTACH] The whole story behind this variety is told here:<a href="https://medium.com/@mlovmo/five-won-coin-die-varieties-1969-c4cf429a4f6b" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://medium.com/@mlovmo/five-won-coin-die-varieties-1969-c4cf429a4f6b" rel="nofollow">https://medium.com/@mlovmo/five-won-coin-die-varieties-1969-c4cf429a4f6b</a> ..and in my book:<a href="http://dokdo-research.com/SouthKoreanCoinBook.html" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://dokdo-research.com/SouthKoreanCoinBook.html" rel="nofollow">http://dokdo-research.com/SouthKoreanCoinBook.html</a> [ATTACH=full]1511993[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
