<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheFinn, post: 3151567, member: 90102&quot;]It is missing the cartwheel luster.&nbsp; Yes, you can have 140 year old silver still bright white.&nbsp; I have a 210 year old Mexican 8 reales with original luster and 100% white.&nbsp; The coins stored in bags don&#039;t tarnish as much because there is no air movement.&nbsp; The coins on the outside act like a shield, and they will tarnish.</p><p>As far as this piece goes, it has been dipped in Jeweluster (thiourea) enough that it has removed the microscopic flow lines where the silver moves over the die to fill the design.&nbsp; This is what gives the luster that looks like a record album when you move it around.&nbsp; This coin, although technically is uncirculated, is lifeless, and can grade no higher than MS62.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
