ATTACHED ARE PICTURES OF MY HK-469B NGC GRADED MS 64 RD.

THERE ARE ONLY A TOTAL OF (3) HK-469B'S LISTED IN THE NGC CENSUS AS OF 8/2019. ALL ARE GRADED MS 64, MINE IS RD, ONE OTHER IS RB. HK-469 AND HK-469A ARE GILT, THIS EXAMPLE IS BRONZE. NOT LISTED IN THE HIBLER-KAPPEN SO-CALLED DOLLAR BOOK BUT RECOGNIZED BY NGC.

NGC HAS NOW REMOVED THE COLOR DESIGNATIONS FROM THE CENSUS. I BELIEVE THAT MINE IS THE ONLY ONE GIVEN A RD DESIGNATION, EVEN THOUGH IT IS BRONZE AND PROBABLY SHOULD NOT HAVE BEEN GIVEN A COLOR DESIGNATION WHEN GRADED.
