<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 125333, member: 112&quot;]Based on your description it sounds like the coin has been over-dipped - thus the lack of luster. Luster is very important to the grade of a coin - it is perhaps the single most important criteria. And a lack of luster in the higher circ grades, regardless of detail quality, means the coin doesn&#039;t make the grade.</p><p><br /></p><p>In other words - if a coin would be graded as AU55 but doesn&#039;t have the luster that an AU55 coin should have - then it&#039;s not AU55. It may not even make XF.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
