You can also see the ring at Graig Gottliebs Hompage.
There the ring seems to be a little bit yellow.
Now it looks like somebody cleaned it, because the yellow patina is gone.


Thanks

Hello Christian,

does the ring come with Don CoA about originality ? I would bet it does not......

Hi Ric,

no it doesn't come with an CoA.
Why you bet not ?
Because the ring is a re issue?

Whats your reasons Ric?

Chris,

do not worry about it.

If you will be the winning bidder, you just need to ship the ring (along with box) to Don, waiting for his blessing.

In the case he will certify the ring is a repro, you return it to auction house along with a copy of Don's certification to justify your decision.


Of course Don's CoA fees will probably remain on your side

P.S. I had to do the same in the past with a super repro coming from another well known german auction house.

Thank you Ric for your help/opinion.
Maybe it's better to wait for another chance to get a honor ring.
Not a good feeling on this one.
The best will be to get one here in my country( so i can pick it up personally) from a collector, possibly even with a CoA of Don.


So if somebody knows somebody, let me know
Also searching for an Honor Ring Award Certificate.

I do not see it on Gottliebs page, there are 10 rings in his archives section and 3 rings in his current section and this ring is not one of them. If you have the link to this ring on his website please post it so we can see it. Thank you.
