Just checked the NGC website and the coin is already coming back to me. It didnt get a star designation, but hopefully, they will provide information as to why not. I should have known since it went through the grading so fast.
I dont understand why you would send in a 1968 unc dime to be graded. Even with a star it wouldn't be worth much. $10 is alot to pay for a very common modern coin with a face value of 10 cents.
It was graded ms67 previously by NGC. I am a registry set collector and was trying to upgrade an older slab. population of 19/0 at the grade. Hope that helps clear up any confusion.
Although the registry set world is one I don't inhabit, I do understand its appeal. Sorry about the star but I really thought the general rule of thumb was five distinct bands of color for star designation, but maybe they're not that rigid about it.
You should check out the registry! It is really so much fun. I have become hooked! I used to prefer raw coins, but now I am really wanting to spend some money to get all my stuff slabbed(Which is what they want I am sure).
