I see some not impressed with NGC

NGC does great on MS values in my experience with them in the past. Some graders obviously see different in many cases. Send coin to one company and it is MS-66. Remove the coin from capsule and resubmit to another grading company and get MS-65. Go figure, it turns out to be ones opinion, the grader and the finalist.
I have experienced highs and lows when submitting a coin. I have sent coins in and estimate it would return as MS65-66 and end up with a MS-64. Other times I have sent a coin and expected MS-64-65 and end up with a MS-67 or 68. I do follow some opinions here and admire everyone's input. We all want to see the best in our belongings and another's point of view sets a reality check and with compromise within our own minds we do realize we misjudged our own point of view(s).
I sent these 2 coins to NGC requesting Variety and Mint error,expecting to have the dot below the date recognized on a 1916 Lincoln Cent graded value VG-10 BN and no mention of the Dot. The normal placement of a mint mark would appear down and to the right of the 9 and between the second1. The dot appears below the first one and down to the left of the 9. So it is not a mint mark in my opinion. Unfortunately NGC's point of view did not recognize the dot. The other coin I sent to NGC requesting Variety and Mint error was a 1992 Lincoln Cent which appeared to be double struck obverse and reverse with a Wide AM. I got the coin returned with just the value of MS-63 RB and no mention of doubling or error I see and no indication on the label identifying Wide AM or Close AM. Much disappointment I felt on my end when Heritage Auction was looking for the results of these 2 coins. As someone mentioned PCGS as error experts, I will resubmit to PCGS for a reality check upon my hopes.
I wish no disrespect to any grading company, they do there job as they see it, not us.
I have attached some images of the 2 coins.
