waht is your expereince with the new * star designated coins from ngc? have you seen any? do you like it?
for me i like it
it might be the most subjective item in the ngc service opinion
but i must admit most all
over95% of the star coins
are really exceptional/monster in their eye appeal from my own experiences and what other collectors and dealers have told me that i have confidence in!

bought my first Star coin a week ago
it is a MS67* Merc that is blast white with explosive luster and less marks than I have ever seen on a 67
this is a much better solution than bumping the grade a point for eye appeal
it also tells me that the coin (as viewed by NGC) is something special

Type collector since 1981
Current focus 1855 date type set
please go the the ngc forums coin forum and see the two posts on the ngc star designation with photos and please add your comments and also post some scans as requested by the threads
hope to see you there and i think if you are looking or are curious about the star designation this might make it more clear for anyone!

i posted a thread on it a couple weeks ago
it is a common date 1939 - there are plenty of 67's out there that only sell for $40, but worth about $300 in 68
but not a common coin!
the seller wanted $99 but I talked him down to $65 as I was buying sight unseen (but he had a return policy). He had sent in 5 original rolls to NGC for grading and this coin was the only Star.
I am very happy with it and will post a picture this weekend

been coins of unusual eye appeal and beauty. It was a great idea, and most helpful
in seeking the coins I like to own. I only wish that PCGS would in some way also denote either PQ coin or
high eye appeal designations.

It's a nice feature, I hope the keep it reasonable though and not get carried away with it.

Unless that person is like WallStreetMan, who can't see past the plastic covering the coin!
MEANINGLESS, APPEAL IS IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER!

You really need to let go of your anger towards all Co's that compete with PCGS.
People will start to dismiss your opinions altogether.
It appears NGC is doing the right thing by really sticking to their guns on what gets the STAR and what doesn't.
Seems strange, but I saw a MS68* 1972-S Ike and liked it better than the MS69 right next to it!

the first AND ONLY STAR FOR AN MS HALFDIME LEGEND OBVERSE
AND A MS 68 TO BOOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
WILD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
SINCERELY michael
for me the star as stated by ngc has to have all the graders that are graingb the coin that day agree that it is exceptional including the finalizer if one disscents then it does not get the star
now i am sure it is subjective and i am sure that some do not get the star that deserve it but i look at it this way if it gets the star overall when either a novice to an advanced collector to a dealer specialist looks st the coin all will agree it is a really neast eye appealling coin!
enjoy the hobby and your star coins
here is a star coin that is a pre civil war coin the first star in this series and the only star and a ms68 to boot!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
sincerely michael
again thanks all for the grest posts and coins and opinions i love it this is what collecting is all about

oh only teasing!! but seriouly i did cut four sharp corners into this slab!!.....................lol

i also hear that ngc will also star ultra cameo coins pre 1915 but the coins have to be super deep frsoty exceptional ultra cameo like a really ultra ultra plus plus stellar ultra cameo both sides to get it!
i asked some of the experts at ngc today about this and they told me that it could happen but it would be a rare occurance!
