[QUOTE="ddddd, post: 3994987, member: 22377"]Here is a quick summary that I posted in a thread (linked below) based on what I found on the NGC website: In the simplest terms: "NGC assigns its trademarked Star Designation to coins with exceptional eye appeal for their assigned grade" This "exceptional eye appeal" usually breaks down into three major categories. [B]1.[/B] Toning (vibrant, colorful, etc)...can be very subjective [B]2.[/B] Intense luster or Proof-like qualities for business strikes (this includes coins that are proof-like on only one side or a coin already graded PL that is DMPL on the other side) [B]3.[/B] Cameo contrast for proof coins (this will usually mean coins that are cameo on only one side or a coin already designated as CAM that is DCAM on the other side) [URL]https://www.cointalk.com/threads/post-your-ngc-stars-and-a-little-history.308504/[/URL][/QUOTE]
