The coin either meets those criteria or it does not - there is no ambiguity.

These things can only be shown by the use of angles. Sometimes that angle is very slight and sometimes it is greater. But if you can see luster or color then there is an angle, that much is certain.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
