NGC Star grade or NGC CAC at the same grade?

Are we allowed to see what the COINS look like (and/or know what type and grade the coins are), before answering?

Mark, Id love to. Unfortunately, one is up at auction currently, so it might be poor form in doing so. The other is in my set currently. Both are toners and attractive.
Depends on the coin series. If it's gold, CAC generally has a much higher premium

I would buy or keep the coin that pleases me more.
I'm also not sure why we are comparing the two. They imply different things. The CAC is about the grade. The star is eye appeal. Don't settle for less than CAC and star

I have to agree -- need to see the coin inside the holder. NGC has disappointed me many times over the past 10 years with their optimistic grading. I have actually had much more success buying coins in the "middle tier" services' holders, like ANACS, due to market discounts and phobias.
Knowing absolutely nothing else, I would say the star coin. It’s worth more in their registry too.
I will never answer your type of question without seeing the coin. Sounds like you want to buy the holder and not the coin!
Buy the coin that makes you happy.
More shares of CLCT. After all, ownership adds a point.

I would take the CAC coin..... I am totally uninterested in tarnish... no matter how colorful. If I wanted environmental damage, I would put my coins in proximity to sulfur compounds and a couple of other choice chemicals. Cheers, RickO
Assuming the coins are comparable, the CAC.

The same coin in a PCGS holder.
Understood, Rick. But the star might have been awarded for any one of numerous other reasons that have nothing to do with “tarnish”.

STAR for me!
They are less common and tend to be more unique.

Here are the two for comparison; top is 67 CAC and has nice luster under the mint set toning; bottom is 67 Star
I don't pretend to know, but NGC thought so.
I much prefer the look of the second coin.

After seeing the images; I definitley prefer the second coin.

Definitely the second; smoother with nicer colors.
Always buying nice toned coins! Searching for a low grade 1873 Arrows DDO Dime and 1842-O Small Date Quarter.
I'd have to see the other coins in the collection, and the other side of these, to make and comment beyond, prefer the 2nd coin but not crazy about either one.

Top one is "terminal" in my opinion and i'd never want to own it.

2nd.

Second by a long shot.
I find the toning on the first one very ordinary. #2
?
Next we will pick between the girl in the green shirt and the girl in the blue shirt.
I'd pick the girl with NO shirt
CAC
if it's offered at the same price
I guess I'm not too bright --how are people seeing these coins to compare?
You GOT me there ..... +1 am NOT too bright either here
I would think that the Star coin could be CAC'ed more easily than the CAC'ed coin getting starred.

I don't know if the post was edited to remove the pictures or what. But all I see is the text saying here are two coins and no pictures. So it's not just you...
Pictures were posted at one point and have since been removed.

Not a big fan of toning either, generally. Sometimes a star is for near cameo or near PL coins and these I definitely prefer.
I would choose each time depending on the coin.
Sounds like someone must have got to her already. I'd rather do the work myself.
There are even further implications. A star coin has a chance to also CAC. A CAC unstarred coin probably isnt starring. At least not as likely anyway. Unless people are resubmitting coins for stars and getting them more than I/we may know.
For the first question, since I cant see the coins, I cant answer. I dont care if the coin has a star or a sticker if I dont like the coin. And vice versa.
Apparently the images have been removed. I would choose the most eye appealing coin assuming everything else is equal other than plastic/stickers.
