<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Lehigh96, post: 406929, member: 15309&quot;]No, the CAC sticker is about the accuracy of the assigned grade given by the TPG.&nbsp; The NGC star simply means that the coin has extraordinary eye appeal.&nbsp; It does not say anything about the grade.&nbsp; For example, it is possible to have an NGC* coin that is in the low end for the grade and therefore would not be eligible for the CAC sticker.&nbsp; If you want a photographic example, here you go.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Morgan%20Dollars/MorganDollar1881-SNGCMS64StarGreatF.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/Morgan%20Dollars/MorganDollar1881-SNGCMS64StarGre-1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>This coin has more bag marks than any other MS64 Morgan Dollar I have ever seen, and although the strike, luster, and eye appeal are outstanding, there is absolutely no way that this coin would attain a CAC sticker with that obverse, particularly the cheek.&nbsp; In fact, I heavily doubt this coin would have been assigned the MS64 grade without the toning.&nbsp; It is typically thought that graders lend more weight to the condition of obverse when dealing with Morgan Dollars.&nbsp; This coin is a clear exception, it is almost as if they ignored the obverse when grading the coin.&nbsp; Maybe they decided that the reverse was worthy of an MS65 grade and they should only deduct one point for the MS63 obverse.&nbsp; Either way, the coin is certainly deserving of the star designation for superior eye appeal.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
