This last one I thought was a toss-up but leaned towards no star (due to the terminal toning around the rims). I still liked the look and was willing to bid but the final price was around double what I valued it at (~$100 vs the $213.75 final price).


And the floor is open...

 

How about this one that was recently in the toning premium thread?

Should be a star

 

The reverse is super attractive, but the dark splotchy toning on the obverse puts this in the no star category for me. If the toning on the reverse matched the obverse I would say it should star for sure.

 

I agree with CoinsandMedals

 

I'd say that Columbian is definitely star worthy.

 

I agree with No Star due to the obverse toning not as nice as the reverse.

Just saw this listing and I did a double take. Reverse is uneventful:

 

I've been watching that one for weeks. It's just a bit high price for me, but I'd buy it in an instant if the price were lower.

Definitely star-worthy.

I've seen that one (and one or two other lower grade stars) for a while now on eBay. This one might have even been on eBay for over a year now. The coin appears to be star worthy but I agree the price is quite optimistic.

 

Yes it deserves the star

 

Floor is open...

 

NgC pf 69 cam star or no star

 

I'm not a huge toning fan but that Ike is pretty so yes, I'd give it a star.

 

Star!!!!
