<p>[QUOTE=&quot;physics-fan3.14, post: 4125340, member: 19165&quot;]The &quot;black spotting&quot; you&#039;re seeing is not wear. Those are contact marks. Basically, the lustrous surface was hit by something and disturbed, and you&#039;re seeing shiny metal underneath. This is not wear - wear would appear flat and dull. These are contact marks. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>I really only own one Liberty, and she&#039;s a 64PL.... However, take a look at this recent Bust Half purchase. She&#039;s graded AU-55, but shows exactly the sort of dull luster in the fields that we&#039;re talking about. See how the area around the stars is bright and glowing? That&#039;s the luster. Now compare that to the field in front of her face - it is dull and muted. This is an AU coin and shows exactly how wear will affect the luster in the fields. </p><p><br /></p><p>Now, compare the luster on this coin to the OP double eagle. You&#039;ll notice there is absolutely no dulling of the luster in the fields. Even an AU-58 will have some patches where the luster is dull. You just don&#039;t see that on the UNC Liberty in this thread. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1068916[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
