Οι εταιρείες πιστοποίησης βάζουν αστεράκι σε κάποια κέρματα όταν φέρουν σπουδαίο eye appeal σε σχέση με το βαθμό τους.Πιο συγκεκριμένα η NGC στην επεξήγηση συμβόλων στην ιστοσελίδα της αναφέρει : NGC assigns its trademarked Star Designation to coins with exceptional eye appeal for their assigned grade.
Eye appeal is the most subjective attribute of a coin, but there are many 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. To receive a , coins must be free of any obvious planchet irregularities, and display no bothersome spots or blemishes. Toned coins can be of a single color or multicolored but cannot have any areas that are dark brown, approaching black.
It's important to remember that coins with the Star () Designation can fall anywhere within the grades to which they are assigned. For example, a coin graded NGC MS 64 could be at the lower end, mid-range or higher end of NGC MS 64.
NGC applies the to qualifying coins in its normal course of grading. As they are already of the ultimate grade, any coin graded NGC MS 70 or NGC PF 70 will not be eligible for the . Coins already certified by NGC can be resubmitted and reviewed for using the Designation Review service.
