Hello Joydeep,

We have been having issues with the website images.  We are trying to get them to upload.  Regarding the other questions, I have sent those to Jim in accounting.

Thank you,

Lisa

Any updates regarding the Image Uploads on the NGC website ??

P.S: A big thank you to NGC for promptly responding & resolving my other concerns.

Hi there, I had a few queries regarding certain things I was not able to figure on my own. They are as follows:-

(1). For Invoice numbers "resolved" and "resolved" the images are not yet available.

(2). My account balance (out of $150) after my recent submission (I renewed on 10/8/19).

(3). My CC was charged $104, two separate amounts of $70 & $34. (aren't grading charges deducted from account balance, also one of the submissions did not cross over).

Kindly, let me know soon.

There might have been a mistake in the submission form for invoice # 4753676. I sent a response email to Ken Dudek regarding this after he reached out to me. Just trying to make sure that the submission is being considered for grading. 

Actually, by a solid core I meant something like the following coin:-

2019 Australia High Relief Koala S$1

Is it possible to request this kind of holder. Please let me know.

Does NGC honour requests like provide me with a solid core instead of a pronged core thats holds coins in the slab ?

There are 3327 minted proofs and about 86 NGC graded PF70UC. Is anyone on these forums owner of one such piece ?

Is this the Oriental version of Lady Liberty ?

Please Note: I am race neutral and hold no uninformed bias for/against any group.

There is an on going trend of dropping Platinum prices for some time now (below $800 per ounce at the moment of this post). Is anyone here worried and more importantly is anyone trying to take advantage of this (opinions appreciated both from a hobbyist/numismatic and investment viewpoints) ?

World Coins of intricate design and/or historical background are a great interest of mine. A couple of years back when I started, I added these distinctive coins with appealing gilt motifs:

1). Australian Dollar - 130th anniversary of the Melbourne Mint.

2). Russian 3 Ruble - 150th anniversary of the First Russian Stamp.

3). Belarus 10 Ruble -  Candlemas Celebration.

How true is it that sometimes die cracks add to the value of a coin ? Are they of any significance ? For example, for the type of coin below, I have never (either on-line or in hand) come across multiple cracks (across the crown & right below/along the bust on the obverse). Also, could the region on the reverse around the '8', which looks slightly elevated be a die break ?

Well, as far as I have read/known, the weight variance for US Quarters is  +/- 0.19 grams around the actual weight (i.e. 5.67 grams). So, I guess it is less probable but can be expected.

Edit: It seems I was not completely correct.

For Silver .25c coinage the variance is +/- 0.194 g

For Clad Copper .25c coinage the variance is +/- 0.227 g.

I guess, for the time being, "They" are right (but was hoping this would be something).
