<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 1593375, member: 15309"]I don't know much about PCGS's system, but NGC uses what they call Variety Plus. It is not like the strike designations (FB, FH, FS, FT) which are automatically including in the regular grading submission. Rather, the submitter needs to tell NGC what registered variety in the Variety Plus program they are submitting and there is a $12 charge in addition to the grading fee. IIRC, NGC recognizes the TOP 50 VAMs in their Variety Plus program and I know that the 1923 Doubled Tiara is one of the top 50 VAMs. On the slab, it would be designated DDO VP-XXX. Here is an example for a Jefferson Nickel variety.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Jefferson%20Nickels%20Full%20Steps/JeffersonNickel1943-PNGCMS675FSDDOV.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
