<p>[QUOTE=&quot;fiddlehead, post: 2758909, member: 31286&quot;]Now and then I come across a coin like this.&nbsp; You really can&#039;t see it much if at all in the pictures, but I assure you it has substantial luster on the reverse but zilch on the obverse. The issue is known somewhat for lacking or having weak luster, but why do coins wind up with it on one side and not the other?&nbsp; I understand a little about how and why luster exists on mint coins, but what causes a lack of, or poor mint luster? Just asking for my own edification.&nbsp; This particular coin is graded AU50, has a much better strike than the usual for the issue - but luster on the obverse - nada.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]633591[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
