iraqandroll Valued Member United States 196 Posts	Posted 01/23/2013 02:26 am Does a Star * rating always command such a higher price? Looking to get some nice Ike's to put away for a long time and came across this one. Just curious about the price. http://www.ebay.com/itm/1973-S-1-Si...em5196ad63cc Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 01/23/2013 04:27 am Stars always cost more and that Ike is the key silver Ike.As to price look here http://www.numismedia.com/fmv/price...ices61.shtml $35 bucks but it does not state star designation. So? Check around,check pop reports. John1 Edited by John1 01/23/2013 04:28 am Report this Post to the Staff

peterplanchet Valued Member United States 98 Posts	Posted 01/23/2013 9:17 pm Based on aesthetics, a coin with a star is often nicer than a coin that is one numerical grade up -- and based on my experience, the star coins often command premiums. Report this Post to the Staff
schnauzer Valued Member United States 212 Posts	Posted 01/23/2013 9:18 pm The star means exceptional eye appeal. A coin can be toned beautifully and receive the star designation or blast white with or without being cameo and receive the star designation. It's all to do with eye appeal as Kingsnipes said.
