[QUOTE="RonSanderson, post: 2569615, member: 77413"]The luster is most apparent on the reverse. In the photos it shows up more as a gleaming on the devices. The obverse has a more muted luster. I asked the seller and they said "it has no signs of cleaning, and no signs of wear, but lacks cartwheel luster." But in hand I can see subdued luster after all in the 1:00 area especially. The seller also supplied this closeup of die lines near the date. Now here's the question I have been building up to. Could fragile raised lines like this still exist if the surface had been messed with? [ATTACH=full]555517[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
