NGC Expert Comments:
Among the earliest zodiac-themed gold coin sets, the Hong Kong Lunar Series (1976–1987) has enjoyed a resurgence of interest—and johngriver has seized that momentum. Focusing on the mint state versions, which are conditionally more challenging than their proof counterparts, he has assembled a complete 12-coin set, all graded MS68 or MS69. The competition was fierce—his score edged out last year’s winner by just 303 points—but that slim margin made the difference. This is a tightly focused, conscious effort that proves johngriver came to compete.
