<p>[QUOTE="mark_h, post: 823139, member: 3726"]A few minutes of fun - there were three questions in the thread: Do newly minted coins have luster? Answer was yes. Second question was Do 100 year old coins have luster or does time alone diminish it? Answer was Yes 100 yr old coins have luster if coin is properly take care of. Then in the third or forth post it was Explain the different types of luster? See dougs post for the answer. So all questions were answered correctly.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now you say:</p><p><br /></p><p>At no point was it asked how to identify or see luster. And yes a red table in a completly dark room is still red. Just because you can't see it does not make it "not red". And if it is dark enough you won't even see the table - until you run into it. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> Of course the light plays a part in the color you see(or don't see if color blind). But luster on coin can be present if you don't see it. Some people in sun light would not recognize luster. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> This is back to which came first - the chicken or the egg or if a tree falls in the forrest does it still make a sound. Word games came be fun. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
