[QUOTE="rev1774, post: 1282348, member: 32001"]I've been looking at some different Morgans and Peace Dollars lately and the issue of luster (at least for me) is still a bit of an issue. I understand that with good luster a coin should exhibit that pinwheel (lack of a better technical term) effect. I guess I am wondering if that effect is always there or are there times when a coin does have the luster wanted but doesn't exhibit that pinwheel effect? For example, yesterday I was looking at a 1921 Peace dollar, the condition was stated at xf//au (raw), there was very nice detail but that pinwheel effect just wasn't all that evident. Granted, I was looking at it under overhead florescent lighting which isn't always that great. I didn't pull the trigger since once bought it's too late. Hope that explained it okay.[/QUOTE]
