The hourglass you see on a nice Morgan dollar (or other coin) is luster. Flow lines are created by erosion of the surface of the dies through use. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Original detail, as the term implies, is the original details or features of the coin, e.g., Liberty, wreath, shield, etc. Original detail doesw not include microscopic details like flow lines.
