Just got my first Morgan Star

[braddick]

It's better to be tight than loose (NOT with grades, but with the STAR). The 'enduser' (read: Collector) will appreciate it.

 

I agree somewhat, but I still view it as being somewhat inconsistent - even if it is with the most subjective of all grading criteria.

 

Tight with *'s can be good. For example, that GWC commem that I purchased from TBT at the last Long Beach did not get the * designation when he submitted it at the show. It did get the designation when I resubmitted it for designation review. That's great for me since I'm sure the coin would have been much more expensive had it received the * designation when he had submitted it, but not great for him.

 

Still, I like the * and hope that NGC expands it to foreign coins.

Greg- You should have paid MORE regardless of whether your Commemorative received the STAR or not!!

Thanks GP. By the way, I like that icon! Looks like Scrooge McDuck.

 

thanks! seemed like a good way to show my love of coins and comics.
