Steve Ham Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 (edited) Can someone tell me what the ASTERISK means behind the date on a coin that has been graded? Edited March 17, 2021 by Steve Ham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RWB Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Have never seen an asterisk on a coin. Why would there be a reference relating to the date? Can you provide more information? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well i dont have the coin back yet so i can not take picture but the asterisk is actually behind the grade....example: 1969 D 5C MS 65*. It's not on the coin, it's on the coin label. Sorry i did not make that clear. ANY IDEA'S??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bsshog40 Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 What you are showing as an example is a "star" after the date. If it's like the one in the picture below, it means that they gave your coin a star for eye appeal. A good thing!! Lem E and Modwriter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well i wish it had at least 4 full steps but it did not get a fs grade. That would have been a nice $$$ coin. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RWB Posted March 21, 2021 Share Posted March 21, 2021 The star symbol indicates "superior eye appeal" - or maybe it's "I appeal" or "You appeal" or "sale appeal" or "appeal to a higher court" .... ? Meaning - nice for the grade. Steve Ham and Modwriter 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Ham Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 OK,,,I'm finally going to add some pics of this 1969-D Jefferson MS 65( star)...hope the pics show the coin well. I also added a pic of what I see the steps as. It is soooooo close to 4 full steps. PS...IT IS FOR SALE!....it is the BEST Steps on EBAY that is Not certified as FS....I looked at all on them!

I mean at MS65, price guide shows a value of $10. I'm sure grading fees were quite a bit more. Just curious! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Ham Posted March 25, 2021 Author Share Posted March 25, 2021 I was just hoping that it may pass as a four FS coin and it would have been a high dollar coin. As i have learned this go round of grading, even one that you know is 5 FS does not even get any steps noted. I have no more to grade, it was just a big " I HOPE" kind of thing. But you are correct, it's not worth what i have in it. Modwriter and bsshog40 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beautiful coin by the way, must be a real looker in hand. Modwriter 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
