No Star........

 

NGC probably starred the Kennedy.

 

No star (nice but not quite there-at least from what I see).

And even I snoozed on this thread.
I'll update the details from last round and this one after this round concludes.

 

No star. The cheek does it in.

 

Remember - grade is independent of star. Marks on the coin affect the grade (this is graded 64), they do not affect the star.

I'll reveal the answer this evening!

 

I think it has a star. I’m not a fan of it and likely you either which is why you sold it. Probability to fund some PL purchases that you desired more.

 

Nice color progression. Makes me want to start of set of them.

I'm going with a star.

 

No star, but it should have.

 

So if I'm reading into your comments, this coin has a star.

 

I can neither confirm nor deny at this point.

I was merely responding to your reasoning for not giving it a star.

 

Ok, here's the reveal!

NGC graded this MS-64*

I bought this at a time when I was collecting a bunch of random "pretty" coins. I sold it when I decided to focus my collecting a bit more. It is a very attractive coin, fully deserving of the star.

*^ = signifies a coin that was most likely graded before the star designation was used for its respective series

 

I've been taking so many beatings lately on my guesses I'm seeing stars.

 

It might not have received it, but I'll say YES

 

I'll give it a star.

 

I usually do not like Jefferson's but that is a nice coin. I would give it a star.

 

*!

 

yes *
