<p>[QUOTE="tcore, post: 210191, member: 2949"]GoldCoinLover, I see nothing to make me think that either of your coins is a counterfeit. Both look pretty nice to me! I would say that for two coins that technically have the same grade, but the luster varies, the main difference is probably the state the dies were in when the coins were struck. A worn die will most likely produce less luster on a coin than a brand new polished die will. Also, look at your picture of your 1908 Double Eagle Reverse in the NGC holder... sure looks like it's got plenty of bling to me! The type of light you're looking at your coins under could also make a big difference. Try a 100W plain light bulb.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
