<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 307406, member: 112&quot;]OK - but what does any of this have to do with a coin not having luster ? Coins graded as low as VF can still have traces of original mint luster. I fail to see what the changing grade has to do with your original comment about - </p><p><br /></p><p>While I would readily agree with you that grading companies the likes of PCI, NNC, and PSGS may slab coins that have no mint luster as MS, I have yet to see any coin slabbed as MS by NGC, PCGS, ICG or ANACS that did not have mint luster.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for the example you provided - <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=330198098758&amp;ru=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.com%3A80%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.dll%3Ffrom%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm37%26satitle%3D330198098758%26category0%3D%26fvi%3D1" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&amp;item=330198098758&amp;ru=http%3A%2F%2Fsearch.ebay.com%3A80%2Fsearch%2Fsearch.dll%3Ffrom%3DR40%26_trksid%3Dm37%26satitle%3D330198098758%26category0%3D%26fvi%3D1" rel="nofollow">HERE</a> - even in the poor pictures used in that auction, luster is still evident to see although it is greatly muted by the toning on the coins.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
