I have found it is easy to teach someone what an MS coin looks like once they see that the ORIGINAL MINT LUSTER that we apply to coins is very different from the original luster reflected from the metal lampshade at their desk or the unnatural luster from a polished coin. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
