<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 3276988, member: 19165&quot;]Absolutely, definitely.

I&#039;d assume this was similar. Now, I don&#039;t know how many strikes they get per die on these, but even 50k strikes will change the luster quite perceptibly. If you wanted to study these in further detail, I&#039;m sure you could find examples with a range of luster characters. </p><p><br /></p><p>The big difference with these coins, however, is the textured fields. The luster is always going to appear and behave differently on these textured fields than they would on a normal basined coin.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
