Sorry about my confusion. Yes, the (1984) fish set has a single-fish design. If I say and write this enough, I may finally stop making the same mistake.
I have four sets with the single-fish design. I purchased two raw sets and two graded sets. I weighed the raw medals and they all weighed 22.4 grams. NGC tested one of my sets and found around 91% silver, giving this set a net weight of 20.4 grams of silver. I do not know how much the medals in the two graded sets weighed (before grading). When NGC graded the set which they tested for medal content, they slabbed them as (1990) S18g medals. So, these 22.4 gram medals with 91% silver were graded as S18g. The other raw set has not been graded and, at this point, is designated as "ineligible type."
My three graded sets and one ungraded set are all at NGC at this time. I have asked them to re-consider them. I want them recognized as (1984) S20g or S20.4g medals. As a collector, I am just hoping for the best. I am not in a hurry. I just hope NGC will recognize that my medals are authentic, should be graded, and should be graded as (1984) S20g or S204g medals.
I have a set of the (1990) S18g two-fish design medals. NGC graded them recently. I wonder how many medals of this design have actually been graded since my three single-fish medal sets were being included in the census numbers for the (1990) medals. I wonder how many (1990) medals were minted and still exist.
Thank you for the information about the palace museum medal. I will put Jay Turner's name on the top of the form re the determination of Eligible Type. Thanks.
