<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rmpsrpms, post: 1644627, member: 31773&quot;]I assume by &quot;luster break&quot; you are talking about &quot;rub&quot; that indicates the coin has seen some circulation, correct? Well, anything you can see with your eyes you can photograph. The question is if you can &quot;see&quot; what you want to see with one eye closed, and holding the coin still. Usually we examine whole coins with both eyes, so we get a stereo effect that makes identifying things like rub much easier. Also, we don&#039;t hold the coin still, but instead move it around in the light to see the effect of different light angles and viewing angles on the presentation of luster. If you need both eyes, or movement of the coin, to see something on it, then it can&#039;t be effectively photographed with a single-image camera. So try holding a coin with some rub, with one eye closed, and move it around until you see what would convince you the coin has rub, and then imagine if that image were a photograph. Would it still be as convincing?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
