<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kurisu, post: 8248815, member: 117063&quot;]As a side note you&#039;re extremely un-likely to find reprocessed moderns.

They are some fun learning!</p><p><br /></p><p>Those don&#039;t look reprocessed to me at all. Learning to recognize that luster vs. a coin that is &quot;dead inside&quot; is an important skill to get a sense of. In very simple terms it&#039;s the difference between shiny and what an original lustrous surface looks like. It takes practice...you&#039;ll especially start to recognize when it&#039;s NOT the original luster of the coin much more easily...the luster in a sense gets literally wiped away over time/wear/environment.</p><p><br /></p><p>[USER=98768]@MeowtheKitty[/USER] mentioned the cartwheel luster...hold the coin and rotate/rock it like it&#039;s been spun on a table and is slowing down, if that makes sense...you will likely see the luster move and flow, often in a wheel or spinning or swirling pattern.</p><p><br /></p><p>Reprocessing a coin utterly kills the original luster, even though it may still be shiny.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
