<p>[QUOTE=&quot;eddiespin, post: 7698038, member: 4920&quot;]To do that you need to be able to spot when luster has been removed. Does that make sense? If it does, you need to study up on that. </p><p><br /></p><p>Generally-speaking, lusterless coins are dead-looking, flat, and one-dimensional. The depth has been taken out of them, and it can never be restored. The coin is finished. Its mint flow lines have been obliterated. It’s beyond restoration. It’s a corpse. </p><p><br /></p><p>Think of luster as analogous to the fine glimmer and sparkle in a diamond. Can you differentiate a diamond from cut glass? It’s not exactly where you are in your dilemma, but it’s a darn good piece of where you are. Become proficient in discerning when luster in a coin has been disturbed. The more the disturbance, the more lifeless, the more “cleaned.” And there you got it, your answer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
