<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 4047330, member: 19165&quot;]In AU, there should be luster evident across much of the coin. In EF-40, there should be traces of luster hiding in the protected corners. </p><p><br /></p><p>Discerning the luster on a toned circulated coin from pictures can be difficult. On these pictures, the luster comes across more like a &quot;glow.&quot; On the very first picture, look at star 1 (bottom star on the left side) - see that glow around the star? That is luster. On the second picture, notice now that the angle of the lights has changed. You now see that &quot;glow&quot; around the 18 of the date. The luster appears to be quite strong on the obverse, and even stronger on the reverse. It all comes in knowing how to interpret the pictures. In the open fields, however, you see that the luster has worn down to smooth fields. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you were to view this coin in hand, I&#039;m guessing you&#039;d have no problem at all understanding the luster on this coin[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
