It's a term that I'm hearing more and more of and I'd love to see some coins with what you feel is defined as cartwheel luster. Also, your explanation of what constitutes "cartwheel luster" would be appreciated also.
Edited to add: I just found this in the PCGS "lingo" guide:
cartwheel
The pleasing effect seen on some coins when they are rotated in a good light source. The luster rotates around like the spokes of a wagon wheel. A term applied mainly to frosty Mint State coins, especially silver dollars, to describe their luster. Also, a slang term for a silver dollar.

...There's always time for coin collecting.

You need to see it in person or, maybe, it can be captured in a video.
