<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 6611102, member: 112&quot;]I wouldn&#039;t put it into percentage numbers, but yeah, it&#039;s actually pretty easy to see differences in the quality of luster between different coins. And it&#039;s downright very easy to see the differences in quality of luster if you view them side by side. </p><p><br /></p><p>But I will grant ya, luster, especially judging quality of luster, can be a confusing thing. But that&#039;s because a lot of folks don&#039;t really understand luster. They don&#039;t realize that every individual coin type there is has its own unique type of luster !</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve explained this what seems like a thousand times over the years, but unless you&#039;ve read the threads, well you may not be aware of it. For example, take half dollars. A Seated, a Barber, a Walker, a Frankie, a Kennedy - each and every one of those coin types has its own unique type of luster. And each one is different from each and every single one of the others. And - the quality of luster for each individual type will vary greatly from coin to coin. Again for example, you cant take 3 Walkers all the same grade, put them all side by side, and you will easily see the differences in quality of luster for each. And if you look at different grades the difference can be as noticeable as looking at the difference between black and white.</p><p><br /></p><p>And no, it&#039;s NOT a perception thing, it is an actual physical thing. And you can prove that it is ! Take high magnification, high quality pictures, and you can and will easily see physical differences in the luster.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
