To star or not to star - official game thread

I have a couple, let me know when its my turn.

As for the Morgan - it is beautiful. No arguing there. However, that thicker toning tends to mute the luster. It seems like to get a star, you have to have blazing luster. Based on what I'm seeing, I just don't think it *pops* enough for a Star.

No star. Don't care for the toning on the reverse. Seems a little dull.

 

Any coin that is going to drive a premium that equates to multiples of price guide by definition has to have exceptional eye appeal. This coin should be a no brainer star coin.

 

Love the toning, I say star for this Morgan.

 

Yes on Star.

I like the golden and magenta color, however, I would pass on this one with dark rainbows colors.

 

Star for the cent, I'd say no for the morgan

 

Anyone else? We're at a tie right now on the Morgan.

Looks like the previous one wasn’t getting much action so I’ll call it. I’m cases of a tie (like here), the original poster gets to break the tie (so I voted yes it deserves a star based on the colors and eye appeal).

@Lehigh96 you can post the next example

@physics-fan3.14 you are up after Lehigh

 

Jason can go first, I’m outta town!

 

Am I supposed to say whether it currently has a star or not? I feel like not posting it's current status gives a more unbiased opinion - and I'll reveal its status at the end.

 

@physics-fan3.14 not revealing the star status sounds like a good idea to prevent some bias.

For the half, I think it is very nice (especially for the series). I’m not sold on the star as it seems a bit dark. I wouldn’t be against giving it a star, but I’ll vote for no star.

 

I love it but wouldn't give it a star personally

 

+1

 

+2

 

I probably wouldn't give it a star but have no idea when it comes to early 1800's silver.

 

I'm sorry I'm late to the party.

Coin 1: Yes
Coin 2: no

 

It is a gorgeous bust half, but no star for me. It is a little dark. Nevertheless I admire its originality.

 

Agree, no star.

 

No star on the bust half
