Fwang & Poconopen:
Your comment regarding the Type 2 - 3 tael Great Wall: " For Type II, the consensus is that the medal was not made in 1984, but in 1987. NGC makes a lot of mistakes on dates."
Then wouldn't the example be found in the “Modern Chinese Commemorative Gold and Silver Coins and Medals Pictorial” (published by China Gold Coin Inc., June 1988)? That Poconopen provided as a reference? Whether the the Great Wall 3 tael - Type 2 was minted in 1984 or 1987? I would wonder why the 1988 publication done by the China Gold Coin Corp. would not have the successive chronological record that would place the Type 2 Great Wall - 3 tael a stated Year? Anyone, especially Poconopen (who has the catalog)??
Thanks Much;
Kirin
