Message:: [QUOTE="Tamaracian, post: 8024970, member: 23122"]May I suggest contacting the head of the South Korean Mint's Design Team again and asking him to generate a letter on official stationary, not an email, stipulating that the coin you described and provided photos of is indeed a "wide date spacing"--in essence, a Letter of Attribution.  If you can acquire such a Letter, it may move the  NGC Variety Plus personnel to reconsider your submittal; and if they don't reconsider, I believe ANACS will holder it as that variety, but proving it is a Discovery Coin" when there is no existing database (such as VAMworld) and getting the TPG to put that on the Label may be a stretch.  EXAMPLE: I have a 1947-S Roosevelt Dime ERROR COIN that has what appeared to me to be a "misplaced text stop" in the field to the left of the Torch (plus a strike thru) that I had sent to Dr. James Wiles of Variety Vista for analysis and attribution.  Dr. Wiles concluded it is a "Die Gouge Dot" ("Dots are scarce, but not generally collected as such") and the ANACS Label states: "...REVERSE "DOT" DIE GOUGE & STRUCK THROUGH DEBRIS.   If you have an Attribution Letter from a reputable source--and include it with the coin submission to ANACS--the "variety attribution" or "anomaly description" cost is only $7, instead of the normal $12 if their staff has to perform the research.  GOOD LUCK TO YOU [USER=16729]@mlov43[/USER].[/QUOTE]
