Does this Roosie Proof Have a Shot at the STAR...

What do you think based upon the obverse of this Roosie Proof (NGC67). Very difficult to image and the image that
I do have isn't the greatest but is by-and-large accurate of the color (probably a little more vivid and electric on the actual
coin).

Do I have a shot based upon the obverse? I'm going to send it at the end of the month with another coin for which I want the STAR designation.

    Yes, It looks like it would star. Is it in one of the older NGC holders with no serial number?

    Yes, IMHO

    The star is for excellent eye appeal - which on a proof can mean either mean especially nice contrast or expecially nice toning. This coin has nice toning, perfectly natural. Not very confident it will star, though, based on the picture. If it's more vibrant than the picture then maybe.
