Quote from Pioneer on March 19, 2016, 8:17 pmNot sure I have a good answer to this. The HK-425A was probably slabbed longer ago. If a potential SCD can be found in a reference (for example, Malcolm Storer's "Numismatics of Massachusetts") then this can be referenced on the slab. I know the current section lead of Medals and Tokens at NGC can slab something if a reference can be found (but NGC usually needs to buy/have the book). I'm not sure if NGC uses expert consultants like Jeff, but at some point, clearly the lead research people at NGC felt like certain items could be slabbed, but I have personally found that things seems somewhat strict as of late for getting things slabbed.

I also think it's cool that this small gold piece (SH 18-34) is in the mix... which i'm assuming is a California piece per sae.
