<p>[QUOTE=&quot;The Penny Lady®, post: 655127, member: 16948&quot;]One of the things that makes a big difference to me in whether I like a toned coin is how much luster that coin has.&nbsp; Many of you know how much I love colorful coins (or &quot;toned&quot; coins as they&#039;re often called).&nbsp; However, a coin can have all sorts of pretty colors but if there is no luster and has a &quot;flat&quot; look to it, then most likely it is artificial.&nbsp; That&#039;s not to say that, just because rainbow coins have luster then the toning is natural because that&#039;s not necessarily true.&nbsp; However, to me, luster is a big part of eye appeal, which is extremely important when I am choosing a coin.&nbsp; By the way, it is very hard to see whether a coin has luster from most photos, so be very leery when buying mint state coins from photos alone.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
