What Does The NGC Star Represent?

i am not sure of value but that sounds fair, I bet the coin looks like a million bucks in hand.

Star Designation

NGC assigns a * to coins with exceptional eye appeal for their assigned grade.

Eye appeal is the most subjective attribute of a coin, but there are norms and standards shared by numismatists. Exceptional eye appeal may include attributes such as vibrant, colorful toning; intense luster; or, in the case of Proof coins, especially strong cameo contrast. To receive a , coins must be free of any obvious planchet irregularities, and display no bothersome spots or blemishes. Toned coins can be of a single color or multicolored but cannot have any areas that are dark brown, approaching black.

It's important to remember that a * designated coin can fall anywhere within the grades to which they are assigned. For example, an MS 64-graded coin could be at the lower end, mid-range or higher end of that grade.

NGC applies the to qualifying coins in its normal course of grading. As they are already of the ultimate grade, any coin graded MS 70 or PF 70 will not be eligible for the . Coins already certified by NGC can be resubmitted and reviewed for a * using the Designation Review Service.

Good pickup for $15, I would be happy with it, and jimbucks that is an epic coin!

Nice eye candy.
