ATTACHED ARE PICTURES OF MY HK-224 IN GILT WHITE METAL GRADED MS 62 BY NGC.

JOHN RAYMOND'S 2008 TABULATION ONLY SHOWS (1) AU IN HIS 2018 UPDATED LIST. THIS KNOWN EXAMPLE PER JOHN RAYMOND WAS SOLD IN AN AUCTION IN 1997 AND WAS UNGRADED, LISTED IN "ABOUT UNCIRCULATED" CONDITION. I PURCHASED MY EXAMPLE WITH THE RED, WHITE, AND GREEN RIBBON AND PIN BACK INTACT IN PERFECT CONDITION, THIS HAD TO BE REMOVED FOR GRADING. EXTREMELY RARE SCD!!! POSSIBLY FINEST OF ONLY TWO KNOWN???

I PLAN TO SEND THIS BACK TO NGC FOR REATTRIBUTION TO GILT WHITE METAL TO HAVE IT SEPARATELY LINE ITEMED IN THE CENSUS. IT SHOULD NOT BE GROUPED IN WITH ALL OF THE REGULAR WHITE METAL HK-224'S.
