[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 853359, member: 15309"]That is a nice coin. My guess is that NGC felt the coin just missed a prooflike designation because of inadequate reflectivity in either the obverse or reverse fields. As a result, they awarded the coin the coveted star designation for coming close and having exceptional eye appeal. I bet that your coin looks a lot like this one auctioned by Heritage last July.
