@pampfan now if I can only get a hold of the 1/4oz Griffin in MS70 I'll be good to go...

There are still only five in the world - you may have to buy a few raw and take the chance with grading them yourself.  I just sent in to ngc my 10 oz beast -I'm  looking to get an ms70 on that one.

Yeah I already have 2, they will grade at MS69 at best... I will have to gamble on more down the road with some of the Silver profits shortly...

Good luck with the 10oz, they seem to be a 50/50 shot. I'll eventually send in my 5oz Pandas Proofs for grading once I give them a good look over...

Here is a close up CSC_0692.JPGCSC_0691.JPG

Lovely coin 

but i don't think it worth grading ! 

I bought au58 for £350 2 days ago wich is near what you pay for a good grade one ,

only if you get lucky and get MS grade ..

I'm following @Numistacker's lead...per @HyHy, confirmed that the raw coins were sold out at MCM so I picked this beauty up from NY Coin & Bullion for $149 w/ free shipping...Not overly concerned that it won't come with the OGP as the CoAs don't give a specific number for your coin (kinda like the 2017 BU Silver Krugs).

@prophet800 the weird line looks a lot like a die crack. 

is that damage to the rim?

And is that a double strike?  Look at the numbers in the date (or is that how it's supposed to look when minted)?

I thought it looked a little funny but I'm not an expert so that might be normal. Will have a look at my pics on the laptop again for a clearer look

Yes a double strike with some movement. There's some explanation how these happen during release of the coin from the dies but I can't remember what it is.
