I think I capture the remaining "luster" on this coin.

    There was a long discussion about "luster" on another forum. ** "Luster" is the reflection of light from a surface** so YES, you have "captured" the luster from the coin in your image. Unfortunately, most collectors/dealers understand the word luster to ONLY refer to "original Mint luster." It is very unfortunate they do this. You see a polished coin has luster too. So does one that is whizzed. The light reflecting off my plastic keyboard also has luster!

    While your coin shows luster, there is no mint luster on it. I think you know the difference as you used mint "luster" in your question rather than mint luster. :wink:

    Ok, but a little harder to see than the old one.
