<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fiddlehead, post: 3201098, member: 31286&quot;]Ahh, that&#039;s helpful.&nbsp; I can see that.&nbsp; It has luster, but not extremely.&nbsp; The only coin I have to compare it to is an MS64 Morgan that&#039;s also toned and between those two I can see that the Morgan has a little more luster - but the toning on that one is also less consistent - i.e., a little blotchier.&nbsp; Some coin issues have more original, i.e mint made luster than others, is that right?&nbsp; So does the grader&nbsp; have to know how much luster a coin has relative to others of that specific issue?&nbsp; Or do some issues only have enough original luster to get to a certain grade level, like say for example MS64 with none ever being higher?&nbsp; Put another way, hypothetically does an MS63 of any silver coin supposedly have the same amount of luster as any other MS63 silver coin (I assume that gold would be judged differently?).</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]828521[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
