Quote:Was looking on
ebay and there is a NGC Pike on there already how do they get them graded so fast when it was just released?
The set has been commissioned like the previous 4-coin animal sets by Silvertowne (right?) , so I believe as commissionaire, the dealer has early access to the coins and he sent them for grading.
Do not know about this set, the mintage here lower, but previous sets coins could be found from the same dealer, graded / raw, less than issue.
