To star or not to star - official game thread

That is a beautiful coin, and I would say it gets a star.

Just misses no star

 

It's already got a star. Why give it another? No star....

 

It has a unique texture. This is probably from a mint set, and the earliest strikes are nearly PL. This piece isn't semi-PL, but it is different from a normal business strike. It's really hard to explain.

 

Some coins are indeed hard to describe. Whatever it is, I like the look based on your photos.

 

Well, its been a bit over 24 hours so I'll reveal: Currently, NGC MS-68. No Star.

I really think this one deserves it if you saw it in hand, but the majority of you seem to say no.

 

I believe that I could be convinced. Many of us were on the fence with the picture and could easily be swung in the other direction if seeing it in hand.

I assume the floor is open. What do you guys think about this one?

 

No star. Pretty though

 

I agree with @Mainebill it's pretty but not quite up to a star
@Coinsandmedals I do like every one of the coins you posted, I'm just fairly stringent in my standards for a star (especially on world coins).

 

I'm too chicken to give this one a star. Pretty coin though.

 

No star, colors not vibrant enough

 

As you all guessed, this one did not get a star.

 

No more stars? No respect, no respect at all!

 

How about this one? I used to own it, but sold it many years ago:

 

I would venture to say no for a star. The hit on his cheek looks like he took one for the team.

 

I'll give this here a bump because all I'm getting is crickets.

 

I'm a roach, not a cricket!

 

No star.
