There was one instance in my time as a collector where I sent coins in to be graded. I sent in two different lots of coins; these Brandenburg Gate Kookaburras and the Reverse Dragon Dollar Restrikes that are also listed in my store. Let’s just say there were significant pros and cons with the Kookaburras. The biggest negative was that these coins did not grade particularly well, and I made a rookie mistake by not having NGC cutoff grading at MS69. I wound up with one MS68 as a result (see my store). The huge positive, however, is that very few of these coins were graded and I have 12 of the 19 MS69s graded by NGC and 5 of the 6 MS70s! This listing, therefore is for one of the six MS70 1 oz Silver Brandenburg Gate Kookaburra coins graded by NGC. They are all Early Releases and I have listed all five that I own. Despite being slabbed, these coins may have very small milk spots. Finally, please note that this is a Royal Australian Mint coin, not a Perth Mint item. The serial number has been blacked out in the photo, but not on the actual slab. I get a lot of questions about this; I’ve seen this done to shield the serial number from potential counterfeiters. I don’t know if there’s any validity to this, but I’ve chosen to do it.
