But looking at the facts on hand that we have, once the toning develops on the panatella of an artifact to this degree, it is almost impossible to get a view of the luster in photography. This was one of the things that surprised early photographers, but all the glisten and gleam that one sees with gold and silver that painters like Clasen faithfully reproduce is almost impossible to get with still photography because of the complete lack of movement of the camera, thereby recording a single angle of light. This image is consistent with a coin that has a possibility of real luster because the toning is rather even and then some of the marks might actually be stress lines possibly attenuated by rubbing in the slab. However, a strike this weak, I still find hard to believe is full bell. Amanda[/QUOTE]
