<p>[QUOTE="TypeCoin971793, post: 2417933, member: 78244"]Yes. Also look at the luster. See how it stops when it leaves the protected areas of the devices. That is a sure sign of wear that everyone seems to miss for some reason. The luster goes away because the microscopic metal flow lines (which are the essence of luster) are flattened by the friction of human fingers. In other words, luster goes away when there is wear or when the coin is circulated.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
