<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 3021860, member: 112&quot;]They were struck as business strikes, not Proofs in other words. As for the finish, yeah they had a kind of satiny finish, but then so did many coins of the time. Think of Peace dollars for example. But they absolutely had/have luster. But I would readily agree that many of them do not have near as much luster as others. This could easily be due to several things, toning for one, and dipping and or over-dipping to remove unsightly toning for another.</p><p><br /></p><p>To show you one where the luster is readily apparent, look at this one - </p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://images.pcgs.com/CoinFacts/83586201_62981752_2200.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /> </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Now you mentioned didn&#039;t see &quot;cartwheel&quot; luster. Well, that&#039;s because there are many, many different types of luster. Every coin type there is has it&#039;s own unique luster. Some may be similar to others but none of them are the same. </p><p><br /></p><p>As for the coin pics you posted I can readily see the luster on the first and less so on the 2nd due to toning.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
