Hard to capture, but there is definite luster when I change the angle under lighting. Great point, and I agree. :thumb:
Your description of how machine doubling occurs is incorrect. What you are referring to would be known as a double struck coin. Machine doubling...
I agree with my Pi enthusiast friend here. It is your opinion that they are worth over face. Are they? Perhaps. Are they worth the trouble of...
