<p>[QUOTE="mark_h, post: 613531, member: 3726"]I am not sure I am doing a good job of explaining what I am looking for, but here it goes - the two dark pictures reflect the actual coins. The top two are the AU58 and the second two are the MS63. The second picture of both was done under natural sunlight(or what there is here in Ky today). Look out from the center towards the rims you can see the luster there - to me the AU coins has luster, less than the 63 as it should be. I don't know if it helps or not. When I look at the second coin in you pictures and think about the lighting, I think I see some hidden luster out towards the rims and hidden in the devices. Just of course my opinion from the pictures - not the expert that others are.</p><p><br /></p><p><a href="http://s209.photobucket.com/albums/bb15/coinmarks/?action=view&current=1861-AU58-NL.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s209.photobucket.com/albums/bb15/coinmarks/?action=view&current=1861-AU58-NL.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb15/coinmarks/th_1861-AU58-NL.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a><a href="http://s209.photobucket.com/albums/bb15/coinmarks/?action=view&current=1861-AU58.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s209.photobucket.com/albums/bb15/coinmarks/?action=view&current=1861-AU58.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb15/coinmarks/th_1861-AU58.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a></p><p><a href="http://s209.photobucket.com/albums/bb15/coinmarks/?action=view&current=1861-ms63-nl.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s209.photobucket.com/albums/bb15/coinmarks/?action=view&current=1861-ms63-nl.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb15/coinmarks/th_1861-ms63-nl.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a><a href="http://s209.photobucket.com/albums/bb15/coinmarks/?action=view&current=1861-ms63.jpg" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://s209.photobucket.com/albums/bb15/coinmarks/?action=view&current=1861-ms63.jpg" rel="nofollow"><img src="http://i209.photobucket.com/albums/bb15/coinmarks/th_1861-ms63.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
