<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1244721, member: 15199&quot;]You might take a look at this thread, the first couple of posts with the photos and then to post 19</p><p><a href="http://www.cointalk.com/t126215/" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.cointalk.com/t126215/">http://www.cointalk.com/t126215/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>I took high magnification photos of the surfaces of Morgan and Peace BU examples , mainly to show lustre differences based on the surface flow lines and results of the type of die polishing to produce them. I am convinced there was a difference in the techniques used for polishing the dies of Peace compared to the Morgans, The gap in productions allowed for differences of opinions at the mint&nbsp; that resulted in the lustre and also the toning characteristics. The flow lines on the peace seem to overlap and produce a lesser lustre and also a &quot;flatter&quot; toning characteristic. Whereas the sharper and more separated peaks of the Morgan flow lines produced a stronger reflection and cartwheel effect , and also sharper angles for thin film action to produce the sometimes vivid toning on Morgans. IMO.</p><p><br /></p><p>Jim[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
