    I saw a PF-68 Roosevelt dime with a star after the grade on the slab. What does this indicate?

    Thanks

    "Synopsis
    The NGC Star Designation identifies coins with exceptional eye appeal or characteristics that distinguish them from other coins of the same technical grade. This does not mean that they just miss the next grade, but it can mean that they verge on the next designation. For example, an untoned PF 65 Cameo coin is not necessarily close to the PF 66 grade, but may be close to an Ultra Cameo designation."

    And just because a coin does not have a star does not mean it does not deserve it. You have to pay extra for the star designation. So it is still buy the coin and not the slab. Enjoy. :)
