Is a NGC 1883CC GSA MS63* (star) worth $300 bucks?

Trooper

I'm just wondering if the STAR designation is worth the extra money.
The coin has about 60% toned coverage on the obverse.
If I dumped the cash would I be able to get the asking price in the future if i decided to sell it.
Thanks

Really need to see the coin.

All the star means is exceptional eye appeal in the minds of the graders at NGC. It's up to you to determine whether the eye appeal is worthy of spending more money or not.

No one knows otherwise we would make a ton of money. If the coin is nice and you have the money to spend then maybe yes.

Well hers' the dilema. I think since some toned coins are bringing a premium and most GSA 83cc are going around $140 right now, I'm only paying 2x the going rate. Which is low compared to some toned star and other toned coins I have seen sold and listed. Here's the pic....

Not enough colors for me. I would want brighter colors.

If the picture is accurate heck no. Well not to me.

I bet it's a lot more impressive in person. At least that's the way I imagine it

Having seen the coin, I would only pay a small premium over normal price for it.

Thanks for all your opinions. I think I"ll hold off on it.

Tom, I am sure I am like a lot of other collectors when I say I have passed on dozens of these at that level of pricing. I like the * but it doesn't influence what I pay for the coin.

Agree with Cameron...if the colors were bolder and tighter, then maybe...

Pastel colors are the most common toning on Morgans and rarely command much of premium, if it were me I would pass but in the end it has to be your decision. The fact that you are here asking tells me you are not real sure, if the coin does not reach out and grab your attention then it is probably best to move on and keep looking.

For $300, you may be able to pick up a white one in 5. Personally, that kind of toning does nothing for me, so I would not pay a premium for it. To me, it's a $110 coin; it might as well be in a GSA holder.

From the pic, I can't see why they gave it a star.

That's not a great coin if judged by the photo. However, I would pay extra money for a coin with exceptional eye appeal (i.e. MS63*). How much extra depends on the particular coin.
