I think a star grade would indicate the coin has superior eye appeal (looks really really good).

A star(*) is a superior eye appeal designation used exclusively by NGC. Star coins are worth more points in NGC's registry and tend to sell for more money than a similarly graded coin without the designation. BTW, very nice Morgan  Edited by biokemist6

What is the opinion on this recieving a Star grade. My cost was @ $60. So is it worth sending her to NGC. Thanks for the compliments. She is starting to blush  |

Hi
Nice coin by the way.
What's with this star stuff. Have all the grading co's changed
their criteria again ? Eye appeal is already one of the factors used
in determining the overall grade of any coin. At least it used to be.
I keep seeing and hearing all kinds of weird things about the way coins are graded lately. I.E.: Obv. is a 63, rev. is a 64 so ?
If any coin has say, an MS 69 obv. and it happens to have a MS 63 rev.
then the coin is graded MS63 period. Are they now splitting grades
based on ea. side of the coin ? I may have to post this as well as more at one of the grading forums.

To me the obverse is a no brainer 65, probably a 66. The hits on the reverse will limit it for sure, but I'm not sure by how much. The dark areas around the raised portions give me some concern as in a cleaning of some type, but the experts on that would have to chime in. Might I suggest you posting pictures in the grading forum for opinions. You will get much more exposure there. Edit: I can move this entire thread into that forum if you'd like instead of starting a completely new thread. Up to you. |
