I Miss College ... Sort Of... posted by DrDarryl

Got my grades today ... NGC grades

 

I never did have a low grade in college...but...

 

My NGC submittal (received 11/08/2012) results were revealed to me this afternoon.

 

This entry is about my HK-721 so called dollar (aka Honolulu Carnival Dollar, Honolulu (Aloha) Carnival Dollar, Mid-Pacific Aloha Carnival Dollar, Dukie, etc...) submittal.

 

No slab image at this time.

 

HK-721 so called dollar has a Fuld Rarity of R-5 (76 -- 200 known).

 

NGC census is currently at 6 graded (not including my submittal). Highest grade is MS62 and lowest grade is AU50. This is a very tough coin to locate.

 

I now have an anchor (lowest grade in the NGC census). My coin's grade is VF-35.

 

This coin was purchased from Jeff Shevlin, current American Numismatic Association Executive Director (before he took the position). I still have the purchase receipt and coin insert (indicating its "From the Collection of Jeff Shevlin").

 

The coin is also an ex-lot from the 2007 Heritage Long Beach Auction (as indicated in an earlier journal entry).

 

Picture was taken on Dec 3, 2012 while vacationing on Oahu.

I think you are looking at it all wrong. You may very well have 1 of only seven that will ever grade, you have no idea if the others will ever be submitted, and if they were, they may not even make the grade, they may have been cleaned, polished, holed, scratched, or had environmental damage, the list goes on. I think it's a worthy accomplishment. Let me be the first to congratulate you.
