    tejas1836 got a reaction from JT2 in Missing Info on Graded Coin   
    I believe the customer service representative was mistaken.
    The following is from the NGC website:
     
    NGC utilizes numerous other designations that do not, however, constitute varieties. These include designations such as FH for Full Head, FT for Full Torch and FBL for Full Bell Lines. Likewise, the designations BN, RB and RD for Brown, Red-Brown and Red, respectively, are not varieties. NGC assigns a + to coins at the high end of their assigned grade, approaching the quality requirements for the next grade. The coveted star  designation is utilized by NGC to identify coins that have exceptional eye appeal that distinguish them from other coins of the same technical grade. All of these are designations that NGC's graders look for in the normal course of grading. They are not classified as varieties, they do not require an additional fee, and they do not need to be submitted under VarietyPlus.

    Welcome to the forum. I agree with the others. All I’m seeing is a damaged Morgan that was minted in Philadelphia.

    It seems odd to me that the two coins you chose as examples of your photograph skills are both high dollar coins and both are in NGC's list of the top 50 most counterfeited US coins. It's too bad they sold last week as I think both are counterfeit.
    The 1893 S doesn't show the die scratch on the T in Liberty that NGC says is on genuine coins. The date on the 1889CC looks off to me. I might be wrong, but It would have been to the dealer's financial benefit to have them certified if he thought they were genuine.
    Why not mention the name of this auction company? This is a coin forum after all and some members might be interested in checking out the site.

    tejas1836 got a reaction from RonnieR131 in This forum needs some humor TOO!   
    When Bum Phillips, the head coach of the Houston Oilers, was questioned about his star running back Earl Campbell not being able to finish the mile run in practice, he replied (paraphrased) 
    "I guess if it's 1st down and a mile, I won't run him"

    In your opening post,  you asked for thoughts and comments. The replies you get may or may not align with your thoughts on any coin you post.

    I'm going to give your advise a try. I'm not very good at the internet search. For the most part, I visit a few dealer sites and a few auction sites. Congratulations on finding the rare token you bought for 5 bucks.
