Has anyone sent one or more silver God of Wealth medals to NGC for grading, requesting recognition of the variety?
...
Recently, NCS conserved and NGC authenticated, graded and slabbed a God of Wealth medal for me without variety recognition. Should this be resubmitted to them to correct the label?
I am working on getting recognition now. I'm going to be mentioning some things about NGC variety recognition in my next article, which will hopefully be published today. As far as resubmitting, I think that would add value to your coins, and since it's not expensive, it would probably be worth it.
It seems like things are going like this:
1. variety discovery
2. attentive readers push prices up immediately, and clean out the market
3. dealers start noticing, and they begin buying up coins, so prices go up again
4. the rest of the buyers in the market are made aware by the dealer marketing, prices rise
5. writers recognize the variety in publications like the pricepedia, krause catalog, etc, and prices rise
6. NGC recognizes variety, everyone knows about the variety because it's attached to the coin, prices rise faster than in all the previous steps
