<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2564572, member: 112&quot;]Nobody is claiming that eye appeal does not affect the grade of a coin. So if you are thinking that&#039;s what I was telling you, you are not understanding me correctly.</p><p><br /></p><p>Eye appeal is absolutely one of the criteria involved when grading a coin. As a matter of fact eye appeal is arguably the second most important of all the grading criteria, with luster being the most important of all grading criteria. Well, for MS coins anyway.</p><p><br /></p><p>But what I said in my first post is true, the NGC * has nothing to do with the numerical grade assigned to the coin. Another way of saying that would be that the * is not a grade enhancement, it does not increase the grade in any way.</p><p><br /></p><p>To put that into perspective a + after the grade is a grade enhancement. For example an MS64+ is a higher grade than an MS64. But a MS62* is not a higher grade than an MS62.</p><p><br /></p><p>Understand the difference now ?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
