Do you suppose

BAJJERFAN

that NGC counts this as 20 coins graded?

Counts as in their stats for number of coins graded?

Doesn't PCGS do the same thing?

Yes they do, but I just wonder if they include them in coins graded.

Grading is subjective and adds a wonderful experience for collectors of bullion.

The grading services measure success by how many coins they grade so I would be very surprised if they didn't include them in the coins graded numbers.

Those rolls have been around for years and I doubt that either service counts them. I do not see a BU status w/o an MS numerical grade for neither TPG in their pop. reports.

Isn't Gem BU = to MS-65

Each coin was looked at before putting in those clear plastic, sealed tubes. All are 65 or better most likely. I'm quite certain that each coin would have to be examined just to make sure that there is no switcheroo or such. They have their name to uphold.

Why? Non of the coins were ever in circulation, as such, they are all BU's. Taken out of a "monster box," removed from the Mint tubes and placed in labeled TPG tubes with only a passing glans @$3 a coin.

"NGC then sonically sealed the rolls with a tamper proof sticker in a clear numismatic tube."
I guess if you opened the sonically sealed tube to examine each one they would them be tough to resell as they are no longer sealed and could then really have been "tampered with"!
A waste…marketing garbage.

ASE's come from the mint in a tube of plastic as bullion. How many times you wish to pay for plastic is up to you.

Essentially it's a safe generic description. Serves to authenticate the coins as genuine and not necessarily to grade them.
