<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3512816, member: 112&quot;]It looks perfectly normal to me. And I see no sign of any haze. But, that may be due to what I call haze, and what you call haze. And I realize you were using the word to describe something you didn&#039;t quite know how else to describe.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I think both, or either, could easily be applied when trying to describe this look. But I can also understand where some would prefer using the one word while others would prefer using the the other word. And I can also see where neither word would be considered appropriate because everything depends on ones definition of each word - and everybody uses different definitions for everything !</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>What you need to understand is that all types of coins, and I&#039;m using type in its literal numismatic sense, have different kinds of luster. In other words each type has its own unique kind of luster - as in they are all different from each other, but yet still similar in some ways.</p><p><br /></p><p>For example, you mentioned SLQs. Well, SLQs have a different kind of luster than Washingtons have, and Barber quarters have a different kind of luster than either one of them. Or, Frankies have a different kind of luster than Kennedys do, and Walkers have a different kind of luster than either one of them.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now a lot of folks may not recognize this right off because they&#039;re not really used to looking for it. They&#039;ve seen it a thousand times they just never thought of it in that way. But it&#039;s there and plain to see if ya do look. But one that everybody recognizes right away, one that everybody is very well aware of are Morgans and Peace dollars. Everybody knows they have different kinds of luster. But what they might not know is that Seated dollars and or Ikes have different kinds of luster than all the others.</p><p><br /></p><p>So when you express yourself and say you&#039;re not used to this look, about all I can say is what I said above - it looks perfectly normal to me. But I would add one thing, the coin has obviously been dipped, but that&#039;s certainly not a bad thing in any way. It&#039;s just an observation.</p><p><br /></p><p>edit - I should have added something else. You mentioned that this isn&#039;t a type you normally collect. And I suspect that&#039;s the reason you&#039;re not used to seeing this kind of luster.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
