NGC is using a photo of my coin on their census report page. Wow! Make that 3 coins!

I just got my coins back from NGC and when I went to the census report(Check out the 1958 D 50C on the NGC Coin Explorer!) for '58-D Franklin halves, there are photos of my coin that just came back MS-66*FBL. Shouldn't I be getting some royalty fees for that? At least I got a free professional photo of the coin.

Here's the dime

Here's the quarter

    " Shouldn't I be getting some royalty fees for that?"

    Did you read the contract that you agreed to?

    No I did not. That's ok though. I got free photos of the coin and now I am the owner of a semi-famous coin.

    No royalty fees. The person (or corporation) taking the photograph owns the copyright to use the photos.

    7-8 years ago I got a 1911-D $2 1/2 Indian graded with pcgs, and did not request pictures. After getting it graded, I went to check the value, and there my coin was, showing on the value page. I was thrilled.

    Shouldn't this be on NGC forum?

    It's a US coin.so it's on the US coin forum.

    Well like posted above: read the contract.

    Nice coin.
    It's fine on this forum as you aren't bashing, nor promoting, another TPGS. Doesn't matter what plastic the coin is in when it comes to just enjoying it.

    I've been told I tolerate fools poorly...that may explain things if I have a problem with you. Current ebay items - Nothing at the moment

    Be nice if the registry worked like that.

    True, NGC owns the copyright to the photo, but you can not use a photo of personal property for commercial use without the permission of the property owner, thus the contract.

    Your coin is now famous like a star with the paparazzi snapping pics!

    A lot of condition census and attractively toned coins end up selected for that. An in start dealer had that happen with some Bust and Seated H10c coins.
