  1. NGC site has a wealth of information on it with a little bit of looking, along with the rest of the internet. I like to open 2 separate windows and do a side by side comparison of coins when in question.

    If I had to guess I'd say real but in very circulated condition....but please do not take my word I'm a bit of a noob also.

  2. Just wanted to pass along to NGC the quick service I received recently.   Placed 3 sets of invoices. World Gold(2), Modern(10) and Economy(4)

    2/8/21 -2-WORLD - GOLD-Finalized / Imaged / Shipped-2/18/21 ....both received a MS65
    2/9/21-10-MODERN-Finalized / Imaged / Shipped-2/23/21 ... 7 out of 10 received MS70 and 3 MS69
    2/8/21-4-ECONOMY-Scheduled for Grading(still waiting but still early into process)
    Thanks for the great turn around !... please pass along to the crew.

    I'm not completely computer illiterate, but how would we set up the trading post? I was thinking that if NGC did it we would have a built in safety net. We would need two side by side lists, one for WANTED and one for TO TRADE. If it were done by country and then coin denomination it would be easier to correlate needs and wants.

    I don't think NGC would back a trade between members, it would be a headache. It would have to be the trust system at best.
          It's not like people would be standing in front of each other and counting down 3...2...1 swap and then seeing what they got.(yes, images would be exchanged 1st on the internet...etc) and I can't see high ticket items being done this way either so perhaps limiting the coin swap/exchange to a numeric value...example ...less than $100 or whatever.
    Overall ... Trust will be the factor.....but I see it as something that is feasible and I'd participate once things were made clearer.

  4. I'm just guessing but the location of the inner ring looks awfully close to the Bi-metal Commemorative coins that S. Korea was offering at times. I have a 2000 won - 2000 Olympic one and it's look to be in the same area but not being able to measure correctly it's a unknown. There is a 1993 with similar inner ring, perhaps test coin or the like....just speculating though.
    Some samples: https://en.ucoin.net/catalog/?country=south_korea&period=123&type=2

  5. As Fenntucky mentioned, I received a email stated they were shipped and on that invoice was the tracking# (via USPS) and always registered mail, you'll have to sign for it. If you have Informed delivery with USPSs app you can normally see it there also as it makes it's way to you.

  6. If it has the word "genuine" then chances are there is also a "Details" also correct ? If so the TPGs will not give it a grade regarding of the quality of coin due to the fact that's it's been cleaned, enhanced, thumbed...etc. If you have a idea what the grade may be roughly and with a genuine/details label you can reduce the value to 50% or less...trust me on that...got burned a few times myself and people avoid them like the plague which is a shame because some are still nice coins overall.

    Thank You very much. I didn't check there. How do you thin my image was? I have been working hard on improving images. I have a Nikon D5600 with a Macro close up lens with a crop sensor and high Megabit capture.

    Personally I think I can get better on it with practice. Thank You for your help'

    Still a lil' fuzzy, try to avoid using flash on coins. Natural light(cloudy days are great btw) is your best friend if you don't have a ring light or similar. If using auto-focus try using the manual especially if you are going to keep coins in the 2x2 holders.

  8. actually they sold out in less than 8 minutes, I attempted to get a couple and was all set up and ready to go w/CC on file...what messed me up is I inputted the wrong CC 3 digit and by the time I got my wallet out to look it up and type it in the site was jacked up...by then the system was clogged up and BOOM...All gone.
    Then I ate my lunch, slightly frustrated LOL

    Thanks guys. allow me to get brutally specific. If a rapscalion were to create 100's of these (or thousands) using the exact same cert number or even different legitimate numbers; how would one tell? How do i know this is legit and not a fake with a legit number?

    EDIT: Here is a thought. If more then one person puts in the same cert number does NGC detect it?

    Although I personally think your ASE is 100% legit you can go through the Catalog search  https://www.ngccoin.com/coin-explorer/  and view images to help you decide if it's legit or not. I myself am still learning but look at every nook and cranny and compare to samples given both here other top TPGs. If you are able to have the coin/slab in hand look for marks along where the seam is. Don't hesitate to take a pic of the coin w/camera and explode the view to see it better.
