<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Greyford, post: 412615, member: 15150&quot;]When you hold the coin and move it in relation to the light source you should see a line that cuts the coin in half and that line should rotate around the coin. That is called cartwheel luster. This is what comes from the mint. This is also called mint state, MS for short.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>If the whole coin flashes when the light hits it then it does not have original luster. It could have been dipped in acetone or it could have been polished with either a silver polish or and actual mechanical polishing.(whizzing)</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>While some polished coins can be quite beautiful they lose all collector value. I can&#039;t tell if you coin has cartwheel luster but if you got it for 0.50 then you got a nice coin at a super price. The silver value for that coin is $5.53. Good Deal.:high5:[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
