<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 410235, member: 11521&quot;]A cartwheel is luster that moves around a coin as it is rotated. It is called a cartwheel because it looks like a cartwheel (a wheel on a cart) that is spinning.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Next time you are in a coin shop or at a coin show look at several uncirculated Morgan Dollars or other large coins with good luster. You should begin to notice on some of the coins that the luster moves around as you tilt the coin at various angles.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>This site - <a href="http://www.coincentric.com/GradingLuster.htm" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.coincentric.com/GradingLuster.htm" rel="nofollow">Coin Centric</a> has some decent info on luster with a few photos showing luster (but they don&#039;t have a photo showing a cartwheel).[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
