The etched metal surface ALSO exhibits &quot;luster&quot; from reflected light and striations; yet it looks different.&nbsp; Agree or not, that said, the acid etched surface still has one type of luster remaining AFTER the original mint luster of its surface was destroyed!</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Yes, the chemical ruined parts of the struck coin that it flowed on to.&nbsp; Look at the edge in Post#33.&nbsp; Part of the fin is missing under the etch and part of the fin remains.&nbsp; This can possibly be due to the concentration and the amount of time the chemical remained on each part of the coin.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie87" alt=":sorry:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />&nbsp; This is clear as a bell, 100% accurate,; and I agree.</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: rgb(179, 0, 179)">Guess after I posted this (#16):</span></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: rgb(179, 0, 179)">And you posted this (#17): </span></p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: rgb(179, 0, 179)">I was mistaken.&nbsp; Sorry!</span>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
