<p>[QUOTE="jtlee321, post: 2731189, member: 73983"]The luster is pretty nice. Although I am sure it would be much better had it been struck from a fresh die. The odd part is that George's forehead and the top of his head and on his neck just north of the crack in the planchet are more glossy rather than a normal mint luster. It's almost as if the die was getting polished by the harder metal over it's life and transferred that polish look to the coin. I don't think it's circulation wear as the polished look ends right at the seam where his head meets the field.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
