It's nice, but seems a bit too dark. Also is that a fingerprint to the right of the date? I'll say NO Star
I agree that this is a very attractive coin, but that speckled, mottled toning is not something that attracts a star. No star for the toning. This coin could still have a star for cameo contrast, but that's impossible to see from these pictures.
Wow, that is a fabulous trade dollar! I do have to agree with the first two respondents though, no star due to the mottled and dark toning.

@ron_c this is the star thread not the NT/AT thread ....by the way, I do agree with NT I am guessing this one got the star, but I'm personally on the fence. I think it's quite nice, but personally would lean towards: NO Star
