<p>[QUOTE=&quot;joecoincollect, post: 2139204, member: 71338&quot;]One other thing I&#039;ll mention here about luster. I read your luster article and I understood luster to be the shinning effect caused by flow lines. When I look at a proof coin, sometimes it shines nicely and I&#039;ve heard people say it has nice luster. Is this incorrect? I thought I read luster is not present on mirror proof coins and pl coins because flow lines have not really developed. So is luster also defined as shininess or light reflection in general? Kinda confused here. Lastly, if a coin has darkly toned or somewhat darkly toned, how do you distinguish luster? Can it be even seen at all if toning is black but no wear is there?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
