To star or not to star - official game thread

No Star. Not a fan of pastel toning.

That wing is too distracting. If it has color then I say yes to the star,
if it is a carbon spot then no.

 

Tough one, I question the toning. But if NGC passed it, I think this series could rate a star for this kind of toning. So I vote star worthy.

 

I'll extend this Walker for another day as it's still close and not many have replied so far.

 

That’s a tough one. If it’s too good to be true... I’d say QC, so no star. It’s a very nice Walker though.

The last one was close and I had to interpret some answers.

For future rounds, please try to make a call on if you think the coin deserves a star, not what the holder might say. The reason is that this thread attempts to gather opinions on if coins deserve the star or do not. We aren't trying to guess what NGC said, but what the people on here think.

 

And now another world coin...

(Note: world coins became eligible around 2014 for stars according to the NGC website and I believe this holder is from before 2014).

And two more photos:

 

I would give it a star.

 

How did that not star, c'mon NGC

 

Star

 

Star. Looks like a sunrise.

 

My guess is that it would now, but NGC only expanded the star to world coins in 2014. And this holder appears to be from before 2014.

*^ = signifies a coin that was most likely graded before the star designation was used for its respective series

 

Floor is open...

 

Anyone?

 

Here is a filler coin (until someone else comes up with something). This was in a NGC holder before I crossed it over to PCGS. This is one of the few images where the True Views are conservative. The coin looks even better in hand.

 

Yes to a star. Beauty of a coin!

 

Yes, Star.

 

When the Buffalo is done, I have a NGC Morgan to post.
