But every single type of coin there is also has its own unique kind of luster. Walkers for example have a different kind of luster than Frankies. And Kennedys have a different kind of luster than either one of them. Peace dollars have a different kind of luster than Morgans. And Seateds have a different kind of luster than either one of them. Indians have a different kind of luster than Lincolns. The list goes on and on. And Proofs have a different kind of luster than business strikes. But all newly struck coins have luster, and all luster cartwheels. It just looks different on this coin that it does on that coin.</p><p><br /></p><p>And there are many varying degrees of luster. It can be high quality luster or low quality luster. And that can sometimes be determined by quality of strike alone, or by something that has happened to the coin after it was struck.</p><p><br /></p><p>And all of this only scratches the surface when it comes to what one must know about luster. And if you don&#039;t already know it, that&#039;s where this comes in - </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>If you look at enough original coins, of any given type, you&#039;ll soon be able to identify one that has something wrong with it for one simple reason - because it doesn&#039;t look right !</p><p><br /></p><p>The lesson here is that any time you see a coin that doesn&#039;t look right, well then you should probably stay away from that coin - even if you don&#039;t know what it is that&#039;s wrong with it. </p><p><br /></p><p>Learning how to tell exactly what it is that&#039;s wrong with that, that comes with time and experience from looking at tens of thousands of other coins. But knowing when they don&#039;t look right - that comes pretty quick. So trust your gut, trust your eyes. And then spend the time learning the specifics.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
