Mr.blister Posted December 22, 2022 Share Posted December 22, 2022 Proof star designated coins provides the collector with the best of both worlds e.g. cameo finish or a mirror finish or Ultra cameo combination's . The uniqueness of having two varied proof finishes on one coin is rare and and indicative of lower populations. GoldFinger1969 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unfortunately, I think that the plus grading system has hurt the value of the star. Points are the same in the registry for a star coin, which is designated for exceptional eye appeal. The plus is upper ends of the respective grade. What are your thoughts??? Which would you rather have a "+" or a "*"? Riding the fence with this dime that has both the plus and star designation... I am almost sure my Star coins get more points than non Star coins of the same grade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With my luck, when it comes time to sell, I will be told the one-stars are par for the course (numis-speak for nothing special) but the five-stars are where the money is.

Henri Charriere Posted December 23, 2022 Share Posted December 23, 2022 Here's something that's sure to get someone's goat. Notwithstanding stars, give or take, I am going to propose a grade that has heretofore never been pushed before yet: An AU-59+. Simply amazing how, of the billions of coins minted world-wide since the dawn of civilization, not one has ever attained the grandeur of this storied grade. But there is one catch: the TPGS will have to reach a consensus that in all other applicable grading respects, the coin would have to qualify unanimously for Mint State status. What this hobby needs is an unorthodox way of looking at common things. [I myself would pay a premium for the odd designation.] All in favor say, Aye!
