Thanks for the confirmation coop! Would you like me to get some more photos of those areas for you to compare and add to your files?

A few wider shots of the reverse area. That might be educational. Thanks.

NGC MS-65. But they said it was not an eligible variety? Very frustrated with them on this coin.

Thank you for the update. Too bad they would not label the variety.

Great grade! But NGC shot themselves in the foot when they decided to go to the silly VP program. They used to label most all decent varieties, but culled that back to just a specific set under the VP program. You can find great varieties, like 1930-S DDO-001, in an NGC slab with the variety on the label, but they won't do it anymore. And worse, they put their unique VP number on the slab, and no one has those memorized so you see a VP number and don't know what variety it is anyway without going to their website to figure it out. Just seems like they have an actual negative interest in doing varieties. Sorry for the negative effect this has in your situation, but you are not alone in being disappointed with an NGC variety submission.

Nice grade and DDO! It's too bad that NGC didn't label the variety. Errers and Varietys.

So would it be accurate to say that you use PCGS for Cherrypicker varieties, and ANACS for all CONECA and Wexler-style varieties?
I have looked through the NGC-VarietyPlus catalog. Some of it seems standard, but what they choose to accredit beyond the typical stuff seems a little random.

Thanks TB. Something to remember when picking a grader.

Yes, in general. If it's a CPG variety I will always default to PCGS unless the huge grading fees they charge make it a losing transaction. And that happens a fair bit because, well, their fees are huge. ANACS remains a great company, with reasonable fees, and solid customer service. They also grade a lot tougher than NGC and at least as tough as PCGS. While prices for ANACS slabs just can't pull what PCGS will, for many coins that difference is made up in the giant difference in grading fees. So for the majors in high grades it's always PCGS. For most everything else it's ANACS.

Thanks for the update (y years later) lol, too bad about the attribution though. Maybe send it to VV for the attribution then try again, Maybe with ANACS.

It took me a long time to get enough coins I wanted to send for grading. Submitted 12 total. 4 graded what I expected, 4 graded 1 point less, 3 got "details cleaned" and then one graded 3 points higher than I anticipated.
