HK-224 PROOFS
I PURCHASED (3) HK-224'S FROM A SELLER ON EBAY IN 2013. THE PICTURES OF THE MEDALS LOOKED OK, BUT THEY WERE A LITTLE MISLEADING.
WHEN THE MEDALS ARRIVED, THEY WERE ALL VERY PROOFLIKE. I SENT THEM TO NGC FOR GRADING, AND THEY CAME BACK PF 62, PF 62 UC, AND PF 63. AT THE TIME OF GRADING, THESE WERE THREE OF ONLY A TOTAL OF FIVE PROOFS GRADED FOR THIS TYPE!!!
THE NGC CENSUS HAS NOW REMOVED ANY SIGNS OF THE PROOF HK-224'S FOR SOME REASON. WHEN I PUT IN THE CERTIFICATION # FOR ONE OF THEM TO LOOK UP THE MEDAL, IT SHOWS AS A HK-224 PF 63, BUT THEN WHEN I CLICK ON THE "TOTAL GRADED BY NGC" LINK, IT SHOWS THE POPULATION FOR HK-897. THERE IS NO POPULATION LISTING FOR HK-224 PROOFS AT ALL!!!
PICTURES OF THE PF 63 EXAMPLE ARE ATTACHED. I STILL OWN THE PF 63 EXAMPLE AND SOLD THE OTHER (2) PROOFS LONG AGO.
