<p>[QUOTE=&quot;TheNickelGuy, post: 8249152, member: 20201&quot;]Cartwheel effect is related to mint luster. Hold an unc coin properly under a light source. Tilt it slightly from side to side.</p><p>You should be able to see two rays opposite each other rotating.</p><p><br /></p><p>Dipped coins and lightly circulated coins may still show some mint luster and cartwheel effect but improperly cleaned coins will not.</p><p><br /></p><p>Bottom line, don&#039;t clean coins, don&#039;t buy cleaned coins. When the time comes to sell, a knowledgeable buyer will be looking for luster, cartwheel effect as well as damage, wear and contact marks.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
