[QUOTE="physics-fan3.14, post: 2751954, member: 19165"]Yes, all die struck coinage should exhibit luster. Some designs make it hard to see, but a Peace dollar should absolutely show the cartwheel similar to a Morgan (it is going to look slightly different because the fields are curved differently, but should have the same swooping swirl effect). However, the luster on your coin has been seriously impeded by the harsh cleaning. The hairlines all over that coin will have disrupted the metallic flowlines which produce luster, and may make it difficult to cartwheel.
