<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3326683, member: 112"]The one doing the experiment, like you, knows what you're looking at because you're the one doing it. And because of that you have an understanding of what it is you're seeing. But those viewing the posts you make lack that understanding because they don't have the comparative reference that you do. So ya have to kind of show them and explain exactly which areas you're magnifying. Only then can they have a better understanding of how the luster they normally see looks when it is highly magnified. That was the reason for my suggestion.</p><p><br /></p><p>It's not for me, I know what all the different types of luster on all the different types of coins looks like, it's for everybody else who doesn't. For example, there are still those who think that Proof coins don't even have luster, but of course they do. Proofs have the highest form of luster there is. So experiments and pics like the ones you are taking help folks understand these things, help them learn.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
