<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Catbert, post: 853390, member: 12718&quot;]This is an old, but a good thread by Lehigh (as always - except when I disagree with him about banned posters <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie11" alt=":rolleyes:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />).&nbsp; Given the discussion on the boards about NGC Star designated coins, this thread gives a another aspect to remember (and to give me an excuse to post the only two I own <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie2" alt=";)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />).</p><p><br /></p><p>These photos are by Todd Pollock and really due justice to these special pieces.&nbsp; First the Franklin (it isn&#039;t a perfect coin - note the strike through mark on the reverse below the eagle that evidently didn&#039;t kill the star attributes).&nbsp; I&#039;ve had it reholdered with the new prong slab and I must admit is really allows more light to make the coin truly gleam.&nbsp; Then next is my large cent (what appear to be scratches on the cheek are on the plastic) that has jaw dropping luster and eye appeal in hand.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>Lehigh - if you read this, where does the large cent fall in your categorization of &quot;other&quot; star coins?</p><p><br /></p><p>Enjoy!</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://bluccphotos.com/clients/danperkins/1-15-10/Images/15.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://bluccphotos.com/clients/danperkins/1-15-10/Images/1.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
