u1 chicago thank you for the information i do appreciate it.. and as for you coin buff keep your sniping to yourself your as bad as the other bullies on this site.
Don’t have any NGC star coins but if procured one having pay more would just markup cost plus accordingly. I had one awhile back same drill it sold quickly (had super luster, great eye appeal).
"NGC assigns its trademarked Star Designation to coins with exceptional eye appeal for their assigned grade.
It's important to remember that coins with the Star Designation can fall anywhere within the grades to which they are assigned. For example, a coin graded NGC MS 64 could be at the lower end, mid-range or higher end of NGC MS 64."
I have 4 coins with the NGC star. All of them I feel are worthy of it as well as accurately graded. I also like to think I would have attempted to buy them without the star as they all have great eye appeal. I like to buy the coins I like regardless of what they might have on the label. Therefore I don't mind the NGC star.
Both PCGS and NGC utilize the + and it means that the coin is very high-end for the grade and is technically approaching the next grade up.
The NGC star is for eye appeal. Yes, I have been very impressed and satisfied with Coins that I both own and have viewed that carry the star designation.

@steve76020 said: pcgs has + ngc has star same difference. once again im wrong and they line up to attack me for it. oh to be perfect like them
As has been explained, the + is different than the star. If I may offer some advice, when you resurrect a 20 year old thread, please let it be known in your initial post.

Ughhhh, got me...I thought we had a whole slew of new people, just to realize it's an ancient thread dusted off. The topic is still interesting though.

The symbols are used sometimes together...and is there a double + ? What about a minus symbol? MS 65-
So why wouldn't graders use the decimal system?? Is that getting too nit-picky? MS 65.8

Awesome to read a zombified thread from 2002 and see comments from the legend Gregg Bingham @monsterman.

When a 20 year+ thread gets revived....
Throw a coin enough times, and suppose one day it lands on its edge.

why don't they grade it MS-65.8
