Wouldn't that be where the star comes in?

The NGC star is absolutely not related to a coin's grade at all, or at least it is not supposed to be per NGC:

 

"NGC assigns a to coins with exceptional eye appeal for their assigned grade.

 

Eye appeal is the most subjective attribute of a coin, but there are norms and standards shared by numismatists. Exceptional eye appeal may include attributes such as vibrant, colorful toning; intense luster; or, in the case of Proof coins, especially strong cameo contrast. "

 

Notice that "strike" is excluded as a listed factor.
