<p>[QUOTE="Tom B, post: 859453, member: 11854"]If you purchased a coin that has been cleaned to all heck and back then it cannot have BU luster. It might be white and untoned, but this is not the same as having luster. Luster is due to the flow lines that are present on the coin after the striking process. During circulation these flow lines are destroyed and when harshly cleaned or scrubbed the flow lines are generally obliterated. I don't know what issue you purchased, but harshly cleaned classic commems can be <i>tough </i>coins to sell and are a very unwise place to park your money. It appears to me that you may need to slow down and rethink what you are doing before you make an expensive mistake.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
