It's a NGC 3 with a green border obverse with a silver embossed reverse. Not in Conder's list nor have I ever seen one. I'd appreciate any input on this one! EDIT: It's Gold, just a bad pick! Thanks guys!

    I have never seen a Silver embossed reverse before, just to clarify. All NGC 2 and 3's I've seen were Gold embossed reverses.

    Looks like the color saturation has been reduced for the reverse image.

    I have to agree with Tom, something with the color on the reverse pic does not look right.

    Yup, the reverse is black and white. I saw the same coin a couple days ago and had to do a double take. image

    Looks like an NGC 3 to me, tweaked a bit.

    back in 1992, I had such a NGC slabbed coin with the silvery embossing on the reverse side.

    Keep in mind the original embossing was WHITE.

    the commemorative coin I had was so undergraded I re-sold it for a huge profit.

    before I sent it out, I recall noticing the silver embossing was actually a chrome metallic paint carefully applied over the gold foil embossing.

    At the time I figured it was just some person playing around with the embossing, having fun.

    Now, I wonder if it was done to see if a silver reverse would look good on an NGC slab. After all, they DID go to a silver colored wide
    Sticker.

    I will verify tomorrow.

    The only coins that I've seen with the silver embossing were the first generation black NGC slabs.
