<p>[QUOTE="gbroke, post: 1619725, member: 22585"]Luster is the most important factor in determining if it is MS or AU. If there are any luster breaks or loss of luster, it is considered AU. When you are in MS grades, luster plays a large role in the higher grades. For example, you may have two identical coins with the same amount of surface marks and strike quality. If one has booming luster it can/will receive a better grade in most cases. In the high grades, various factors are used: Luster, marks/nicks, eye appeal and strike.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
