<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 2779251, member: 112&quot;]We&#039;re saying much of the same things Mike but you&#039;re reaching a different conclusion than I am on the issue of wear lines reducing luster. And yes I agree with you that if viewing angles change, the amount of reflection changes.</p><p><br /></p><p>And I agree that luster is a measurable quantity. But, if measured from the same viewing angle, the more consistent the flow lines (which are the reflective surfaces) the more luster there will be. As I mentioned earlier, this is proven beyond any doubt with Proof coins. Die wear absolutely reduces the amount of luster on Proof coins. (and I don&#039;t know of anyone who would dispute that)</p><p><br /></p><p>And, it is also a fact that consistency increases reflectivity and inconsistency reduces reflectivity. Given that, and given that wear lines would absolutely decrease consistency, well, it must be so with business strikes as well.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
