I remember a discussion on the four variations of the God of War & Wealth some time ago.  I am trying to find the differences between the four.  Anyone could help lead me to the right place?
Thanks y'all.

Thank you, thank you.  Just what I needed.  001_smile

I'd love to check out the Coin Compendium but don't I need to volunteer to help with the Compendium?  Not that I don't want to volunteer, but I am pretty strapped time-wise (but then who is not?) blush

I probably should have phrased it differently. "Volunteer" means you have fun playing with it, and tell me if you notice something that's wrong or could be improved. There's 24 people using the site right now, and most of them just use it for their own projects. Here's the list:

There's a God of War & Wealth for sale on eBay advertised as a clouded version of it (www.ebay.com/itm/380400429077 ).  If you look at its picture, it looks like a 100% super-clouded one. Yet, if you check its NGC number (3542633-003) on NGC's Look-up, it's a clouded one.
Are my eyes deceiving me or this is a case of ... how to put it nicely.... ?

Despite reading on the topic and looking at pictures both here and in LBC, I still have trouble detecting the difference between the clear and super clear variations.  Could someone help point out some clear differences?  Thanks.

Based on the pictures jon_sold_it has with that listing, you are right, it appears to be a super clouded claw coin. The difference is whether there is cloud in between the thumb and first finger.

That looks like a super clouded claw to me. It is the cheapest one I have seen.

The super clear claw has what looks like a "thin wrist" on the dragon's claw.
