<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Collector1966, post: 786914, member: 17919&quot;]Think of it this way-- if you rub a Fine-12 coin, and you produce a luster-like sheen on the surface, you are doing two things-- You are producing a surface look that is unnatural for the typical F-12 coin, and you are producing small lines on the surface called &quot;hairlines&quot; which may not be noticeable to the naked eye, but can be detected under a magnifying glass. Hairlines and unnatural tone/luster are a distraction to collectors, and can often reduce the value of the coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
