Rainbow Morgans are definitely attractive. If you are less familiar with toned coins, let me strongly suggest that you buy only TPG certified...
We call that "pull-away toning." If it is there, it is a strong indicator that the coin is naturally toned. However, the lack of pull-away toning...
I really don't know anything about these tokens. Are any of them rare or valuable? Every single one of them has problems - none of them should...
No, that is artificial toning. I would stay away from it. It doesn't look right. There are a number of red flags on this one.
Haha, you were posting at the same time as me. That is a better picture, in terms of showing life and luster. I still like it at 64, though.
Can you give us different/better pictures? In the posted pictures, the coin looks completely lifeless, like it has been dipped poorly and retoned....
Welcome to the forum. That picture is about what I see when I take off my glasses. Your camera may need corrective lenses? ;)
There is also absolutely nothing technical about the CAC sticker. They are all original, NT coins, with good eye appeal (except the last one....
Eh, continuing this argument is pointless. We have very different opinions. Just don't ruin any coins, okay?
66 63 with a color bump to 64 64, but possibly color bumped to 65 UNC details, damaged (in my opinion). But, you said straight grade... 62? 63?...
Can't really tell anything from those pics. They are way too small.
No, that is absolutely not an explanation. That is an opinion. An explanation takes the "it doesn't look right" and then tells us why it doesn't...
I wouldn't use the word "conservation" for what was done to that coin. That is straight up doctoring, by way of dip. For those who don't know what...
What? I'm not sure what you are trying to say here. NCS removes problems from coins. Haze, environmental effects, stabilize corrosion, PVC,...
Ouch. That coin has had a rough life. I would grade it VF details, scratched, cleaned, and polished. You paid full retail for it, in my opinion.
Are you asking a question about the coin? Is this a recent purchase? Or are you just showing us an ugly coin? I'm really not sure why you posted...
To return the thread to the original question, "Do Prooflike Coins have Cartwheel luster?", the answer is a resounding "yes." The character,...
Here is a better link: https://www.cointalk.com/threads/luster-a-guide-for-beginners.58435/ My agreement with Doug in the linked thread is with...
Obviously, not knowing which coins you have seen, I can't say for sure. But, it is likely. You'll see the exact same effect on Washingtons and...
Yes, fresh dies will have a certain character of luster. But even you cannot deny that, over the course of the die's life, the character of the...
