<p>[QUOTE=&quot;bahabully, post: 836018, member: 17555&quot;]I agree,, seeing luster in coin under diffused lighting is very hard, but doable.&nbsp;&nbsp; It can be even harder when a coin is scanned into a picture.&nbsp; This is part of the intent of the thread,,,, ie - to allow the forum members to learn how to read pictures,,, in this case pics under diffused lighting.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>So, in the name of learning,,,, here&#039;s a clue.&nbsp;&nbsp; Take a look at the 26d and note the reverse (I find that reading luster on a cent is best done by looking at the reverse).... this coin has some luster in hand.&nbsp;&nbsp; Now take a look at the 17d and the 23s, these coins do not have a high degree, or any notable luster.&nbsp;&nbsp; You can see a difference, or at least I can.&nbsp;&nbsp; </p><p>I can&#039;t really speak to the 13 because I have no other reds posted as a point of reference, however I can say as far as reds go, this one has marginal luster and although appearing to be a nice red, does lack that carwheel luster &lt;hint&gt;<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
