I would imagine that star designated coins will have a higher crossover rate. As you know Michael, it ALL depends on the coin. Of course HRH has said that only PQ coins from other services holders cross, not coins that are properly graded.
Greg always had the quote handy.

If NGC says it's a better 66, chances are PCGS would see a 66

Why would anyone send a NGC star to PCGS for a cross??? I have seen these things sell for 4 or 5 times bid!!!

Go and check the price of an NGC * ultra cameo 76 Silver bi-centennial set at R&I. $1250.00 I think I would leave them in the current holder.

Imagine the fools that are going to get stuck, or the dealers that are going to get rich off these fools! When their stars burn out, the dealers Gold will be sparkling! Trade those stars in and wait for Gold to bottom!

Dont look at your coins under the stars, use a light or wait until daytime, then you can see the appeal for yourself! The Sun is a star and it doesnt cost anything!

I don't understand why a collector would want to cross a coin -- or do anything re a coin already slabbed by one of the major grading services -- unless he / she wants to put it up for sale immediately.

All of the special designations re the coin; Full Torch, PL, Cameo, Deep Cameo, FH, etc., are a Godsend for the various grading services and for the dealers that sell these coins. They provide the former with additional grading fees, and the latter with an angle to further mark up the coins with these designations.

A knowledgeable collector will know if a particular Mercury Dime with full split bands or a particular proof Seated Half Dollar (which merits the Cameo designation) are worth a premium, and if so, how much of one, over its counterpart in the same grade that doesn't merit this special designation. This information is easy to obtain in this internet age.

IMO, the only point of these various designations is to help sell particular pieces of plastic, and it takes the focus away from the individual coin. If a coin is outstanding, it will bring a price reflecting its being outstanding. A knowledgeable buyer who wants that coin isn't going to expect to pick it up at bluesheet, or expect to get a price break on said coin because it is in an NGC vs. a PCGS holder.

I can understand technical designations, but eye appeal is strictly a matter of opinion, something that changes from one collector to the next and should not be written on the slab!

for me it all depends on the coin for modern coins i think the star is neutral



for really superb extra special coins like monster toned early commems and superb seated coinage and cameo ultra cameo proof coins pre 1915 and pre 1940 usa coins
i think the star means more

but then i would need to see the coin sight seen to make an obversation

if say a seated coin has a star then i would love to see that coin and if the star is worth it if i see the coin sight seen then it is an important great coin!

same with an early commem!

but for me with starsd it is a sight seen coin by coin basis

and again for me the coin has to be a classic coin and if the coin is great sight seen then i am all for the star!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

yes yes yes

again it is on a coin by voin sight seen basis
