Frankly, Thad is the only person I have bought "cartwheel luster" Lincoln cents from and I have enjoyed them greatly. They really break up the what can otherwise be at times a mundane collection. To my point; I am going to be submitting around 15 coins to NGC in the next few days. Several of these are from Thad and have this cartwheel appearance. Will NGC recognize this as a variety or characteristic of the coin? Should I use the, "Varietyplus" option to have them look at this? It costs an extra $10 per coin. Opinions welcomed. Thanks.

I do know that luster is a big part of grading though, the better the luster the higher the grade (as opposed to a exact twin of the coin lacking luster). Report this Post to the Staff

Sending them for the VarietyPlus designation won't do a thing since there is no variety to attribute and it is definitely not the same thing as strike quality descriptors such as DMPL, FH, FBL, FS, etc. Report this Post to the Staff
