[QUOTE="mill rat41, post: 1802633, member: 16688"]A plus coin is high end for the grade. a star is given to coins with high eye appeal - often for attractive toning, booming luster, or coins that just miss the pl or dmpl designations. A star can be given to a low end (for the grade) coin. A coin can be given a plus and a star. CAC does not consider stars and pluses when evaluating a coin. A green sticker is given to coins they feel are solid for the grade or high end for the grade. A gold sticker is given to coins they feel are undergraded by one or more points. But to get a gold sticker, a coin needs to be solid for the next grade - not just squeak into a higher grade.
