<p>[QUOTE=&quot;mumu, post: 1651834, member: 24620&quot;]I think you are failing to consider or analyze the photograph from a photography standpoint. The shot is underexposed. The result of underexposing a shot is that it does a better job of showing surfaces. The trade off is you dont see the luster. This is similar to when trying to show the color of the coin. It is nearly impossible to show both in a slabbed coin. Here is the same coin with the exposure adjusted by software(would yield better results if done by the camera at the time of the shot but software comes close). I think you would have a different idea on the luster of the coin had I posted this shot instead. Notice the color of the slab is approaching a more realistic white balance and exposure setting. Might you still be right with the coin in hand? Maybe so. But I think this coin, relative to what a lusturous 21 is, has booming luster.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
