NGC Designation Review Question

[Mr. Smith Guesser]

There is a Roosevelt dime on eBay that is currently graded MS 67 * (star) W. Obviously it's in one of the older holders, since it has the W attachment. I think this coin has a very good chance of getting a FT designation.

 

Will the star stay with the coin after designation review? Or would the star also up for review?

 

The coin is still bright white. There's no toning on it at all.

This is probably a question that would best be posted on "Ask NGC".

You're probably right now that I think about it. Will a moderator move the post for me.

The coin will be reviewed for all its merits upon designation review. Typically though, a STAR is not going to disappear, and if it did, the value of the coin would be affected, and NGC would have to make you whole again.

 

The obsolete W designation is sometimes removed from the slab upon review, and sometimes not. There isn't any real monetary consideration with most W coins losing their Ws.

I'm not sure I agree. If the guarantee does not cover toning, then why would it cover any other superlative designation for eye appeal? Moreover, how does one establish value for the star coin (at least for NGC purposes)?

It may have received the STAR in the first place because the graders thought it was just shy of an FT.

[coinman1794]

I can only speak from my experience submitting to NGC over the past 15 years. NGC understands that the Star will add value and that removing it would have an immediate impact on the value. They have been pretty fair with me on such matters; but ultimately, you would have to ask them about the specific coin in question, as every situation is unique.

this thread was not moved over to ask NGC. I would not mind knowing the official answer or the part about "making you whole"

There is no guarantee that one of the Mods has been following this thread, but in the 10+ years that I have participated here, I don't recall any instance where a thread was moved. You should probably start a new thread on that forum.

Any coin bearing the T (toned) or W (white) designation that is returned to NGC for any reason will have these designations removed as a matter of course. They are obsolete and no longer recognized by NGC. This action will have no bearing on any other current designation the coin has already or which the submitter is seeking to add.
