4.2 ....it is similar to the previous one but there the color was "spread out" better (at least that is how I see it)
That's been my experience too; neutral or even a slightly negative second side doesn't disqualify a star.
Makes sense; there is no point of holding onto that one.
The star certainly isn't right here. How have you owned and returned it twice? What made you buy it again?
I agree that they are very inconsistent. Outside of Morgans (even though they do give out some questionable stars to coins with a small sliver of...
I would say that is true most of the time. I've seen some pastel ones with stars too. NGC isn't very consistent in giving out stars to nickels in...
On the 44-S, I thought it did not have enough color for a star (and I wouldn't give that one a star if I was grading it). This one is closer but...
4.7 on the 1887....I like the bright colors
MS 66....nice color but still not enough for a star by NGC nickel standards...surfaces are fairly blemish free ....not sure what that is under the...
MS 65 ...crusty original and a hint of solid color....a few unfortunate ticks/hits (obverse bust and reverse above the steps) that keep it from...
4.3....nice rainbow crescent
Yep a few were (including some of the BTW).
Some did circulate but it wasn't common (especially with the low mintage). Something like the 1892 & 1893 Columbian Expo Commem is way more likely...
It's a bit blurry but it doesn't look like wear. Also, these commems are fairly rare in AU; they didn't really circulate (they were made as...
MS 66 ...crusty & original
MS 63 ...crusty original, likely pops with some color at the right angle
AU 50...from my interpretation of the image: there is wear, the fields have marks, and luster seems to be lacking...but the detail is strong...
This one is an obverse toner but the prior two reverse toners had more "pop" in my opinion. I'm at 4.4 on this example.
This was an April Fools joke... you should have waited until the next April 1st to post it. :p
Top pop (or close to top pop) BN cents have a dedicated following, so they can go for multiples of price guide. I wouldn't buy this example, but I...
