Niue design of PCGS Walking Susan B. Anthony

The new design of the Niue $2 silver bullion coin featuring a walking Susan B. Antony is gorgeous!
Disney's huge success with Niue coins featuring X-men and Star Wars characters has led the way and PCGS won't be left out of the action! But isn't there just the tiniest conflict of interest when slabbing ones own coins? It seems silly to ask but precedent matters in the long haul.
Across the Street at NGC the same situation started a year ago. They formed an alliance with The Royal Mint (yes, THE Royal Mint) to slab offerings from the official mint of the UK. Similar to PCGS, they only sold MS/PF70 and tossed the 69s to the melt pile.
Seems fairly innocuous but does this pass the smell test to others?

Unless they are slabbing 69s as 70s who cares? A coin can be submitted as 70 only by other submitters, so what's the problem?
Wow! That’s a great design!
I have not seen this design and a quick google search did not turn one up. Will check later, got to get ready for work. Cheers, RickO
I searched eBay and google. There’s no picture here. Where are you guys seeing it?

Is this it???
No.
That is the PCGS 35th anniversary silver coin.
Lady Liberty is on the obverse.
Reference
Yes! There she is, WALKING SUSAN B ANTHONY. Worth $2 in Niue!
Yes, I am being sarcastic about Susan B. The Lady Liberty Looks Like the old $1 clad coins with Susan B.
Yikes, PCGS Lady Liberty with a sword? Imagine the scratches.
Last night I asked a simple question. Where is this coin. Answers so far. Crickets 🦗. 🤨

It's the one a few posts above yours (the OP was being sarcastic).
I don't know, that armed figure looks like a guy wearing a shower cap. IMO. Peace Roy

Thanks. I can be very dense
That being said. The coin is not very good. Way too busy with multiple rays. Very distracting.
Nuie indeed. (Actually I have a few I like) 😉

I mean the guy holding the PCGS shield and sword heading into battle.

They took the ase sun and extended the rays from the peace dollar causing a stripping effect and therefore a distraction for the eye.

That’s Troy.
Hoard the keys.
One Troy ounce?
A very good guess if I should say so.

I thought that was Julius Caesar with a wig.

I came across this and wondered if it was used as a design for this one 😉

I always figured it had a mint and 1 million PO boxes for tax Dodgers
Looks lovely 😉 New Zealand makes their coins.

All these little third world countries that mass produce these gimmicky NCLT collector coins contract with first world mints for a fee or royalty to produce and distribute their products. It wouldn't surprise me if none of these "coins" have ever been in the country that issued them.
Worry is the interest you pay on a debt you may not owe.
Did you take those pictures yourself in Niue?

It goes without saying that they have never been to Niue. Niue has palm trees, not numismatic presses. Did a coconut land on your head this morning to even think a thing?
