Does NGC Grade Porcelain Coins?

[gmarguli]

I'm thinking of something along the line of this coin:

 

[KKrah]

NGC does not grade porcelain coins at this time.

See what happens when you go TOO far off the deep end in the dark side ?

Any step onto the Dark Side diving board is a leap into the deep end.

But it isn't a problem if you know how to swim.

I'm tall enough that my feet still touch the bottom.

[gmarguli]

You people have a problem with porcelain darkside coins?

 

I don't own the pictured coin, but I do own some other porcelain coins. I've had them for 10-15 years. I don't even really know what they are and that's why I wanted to send them to NGC.

Yours appears to be a 1922 Schleiz Malt Liquor token. You can tell by the bull on the front.

Wow, gmarguli, I've never heard of porcelain coins before. I suppose this one doesn't count, as it's not a coin!

[Guest]

But it's still really cool.

Greg - You may have looked this up, but I thought you'd be interested - I was.

 

Johann Friedrich Bottger

 

It's interesting that the coin even preserves the umlaut in Bottger's name.

That's neat. I had no idea who the guy was. I assumed he was some sort of ruler.

 

Note: I don't actually own the coin pictured. I own some other porcelain coins. They feel like clay to me.
