I BOUGHT (3) HK-224'S FROM A SELLER ON EBAY BACK IN 2013 I BELIEVE. I SENT ALL THREE OF THEM TO NGC FOR GRADING. THEY CAME BACK GRADED PF 62, PF 62 ULTRA CAMEO, AND THIS PF 63! THERE WAS ONLY (1) PF 65 LISTED IN THE CENSUS AT THAT TIME THAT WAS FINER THAN MY PF 63.
I SOLD ALL THREE OF MY PROOFS ON EBAY FOR A GIGANTIC PROFIT, AS THERE WERE ONLY A TOTAL OF FIVE PROOFS LISTED IN THE NGC CENSUS AT THE TIME, AND I OWNED THREE OF THEM! I RE-BOUGHT THIS EXAMPLE AS IT WAS LISTED ON EBAY IN 2019 FOR A FRACTION OF MY SELLING PRICE IN 2013.
NGC HAS NOW REMOVED THE PREVIOUSLY LISTED PROOFS OF THIS TYPE AND NOW ONLY HAVE MS EXAMPLES LISTED IN THE CENSUS. THERE WAS A GRADED PF 65 THAT WAS THE ONLY EXAMPLE OF THIS TYPE GRADED FINER AT THAT TIME. THE PF 65 HK-224 EXAMPLE DOES NOT SHOW UP IN THE NGC CENSUS AT ALL, BUT I KNOW ONE EXISTED IN 2013!
THIS CERTIFICATION # SHOWS THIS TO NOW BE A MS 63 ON THE "VERIFY NGC CERTIFICATION" PAGE, NOT EVEN LISTED AS PL OR DPL!!!
THERE ARE ONLY (4) MS 64'S LISTED AS FINER IN THE NGC CENSUS AS OF 8/2023.
