<p>[QUOTE=&quot;C-B-D, post: 2149416, member: 43130&quot;]The luster up against the design elements such as the stars and within the letters, is actually not one of the first things to go at all. Think about it. When a coin is handled and spent, do people&#039;s hands and fingers come into contact with the area up against the stars? Or do they touch the star itself? The star (or letters in the motto, etc) actually work to protect the area closest to that star/letter! That&#039;s why these areas are often called the &quot;protected areas.&quot;[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
