Coin in question: 6496710-002 1945-D, FS-101 DDO
There's a slot in the set, but I can't add my coin. Tried a few times. I got it on once, then it disappeared. There are others that have the slot filled in their set.
Star Rating Consideration

Personally, I like the star designation for the simple fact that it is independent of the numerical grade of the coin. And maybe it should be utilized a little more. The other TPG does not have such mechanism, and I fell like I see more than a few coins from them with a "plus" grade that seemingly was awarded simply for "extravagant" toning. I've always imagined the coin without toning first, and see if that coincides with the numerical grade. In fact when I see such coins that look to have a toning grade "bump" I start to think of the possibility of the toning being suspect. With the crazy price spreads for some toned versus non toned coins of the same grade, one should always be cautious and use judgment...
