I have been seeing some coins, like a 1917 I got the other day, that has incredible luster. But others, just a few years later and into the 1920 decade, do seem to have flatter fields and less, if any, cartwheel luster. Could this be due to die wear? Or could the master hub just be worn or have flatter fields that caused less surface flow?</p><p><br /></p><p>In the case of this coin, the cheekbones and hair look worn but the wheat ears are crisp. I matched the hair to some old HA auction photos and to the NGC Coin Explorer site, and many have the same worn look to them.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
