Post your NGC *star coin's...

after reading a couple threads on here over the past couple months discussing NGC *star and plus coins I jumped on eBay and found this baby with the green bean already on. iPhone pics of coin in hand. $150 shipped...probably I paid too much but I'm happy with her. This is my first crescent toner also. So let's see some NGC *star coin's...post them if you got them

That is a beauty!

 

That's really nice suttle toning!! Great Morgan!

 

I bought this one because I was looking for "*" coins. IMO, undergraded and it has great mirrors, which is the reason it got the "*".

 

The colors are very vivid on this coin. Not a monster, but cool toning.

 

BTW, since I needed to add a "Helga" V Nickel to my Type Set, I'm so happy it's a "*". This one has great eye appeal.

 

Pr 69* dcam

 

I don't have a ton actually too many old holders or pcgs coins

 

The contrasts are more pronounced on this in hand, and it has a thicker frost/contrasts than is typical for designated cameos in the series. In hand, the reverse approaches ultra cameo with the obverse doing the same but less so.

1939 NGC PF67* CAMEO

 

I don't have much interest in post-1964, but that is one of the most unusually attractive coins I've laid eyes on.

 

Is my ONLY post 64 coin I own. I seldom buy post 1900 coins but I liked this one

 

The * is NGC's equaivlent to PCGS's +, right ?

You know...with grading being so subjective already, I really think it's strange they would then give out these 1/2-way indicators to show really good for the grade. I think the fact that there have been tests with other professional graders who are off (high and low) by 1-2 grades (sometimes more) on TPG rated coins that I'd settle for them spending more time per coin and getting the main grade right rather than finagling about a * or + indication.

Rant off......

P.S. All are very nice coins !

 

No, a coin will get a STAR for exceptional eye-appeal/toning and a PLUS when it's high-end for its grade. Proof coins can receive a star if they have "some" cameo contrast, but don't fully qualify for the cameo designation.

Just picked up my first * coin by total accident really.






Seller pics. I'm expecting a new, professional photograph any day.

 

Nice accident! Hope I can have a few like that!
