I can't get the luster to show with my crummy photo skills.

    Do your best to avoid circular arguments, as it will help you reason better, because better reasoning is often a result of avoiding circular arguments.

    Yeah I'm pretty much just beginning with the Barbers myself. Looks to have a bit of a weak strike to it in the ear / wreath area. Much of the "weak strike" look is my poor photo though...the coins strike looks much better in hand.

    It sure seems that 'Translating' pictures of coins one wants to buy into actual coins in hand is quite a skill to learn. And photographing them another time consuming skill as well! Seeing what experienced eyes call-- ' fill in adjective here; medium, dark, antique, weak strike, etc.' --has been very helpful to me. Would like to see more threads on this if others have time and interest to do so.
