  That's not a Morgan. How come you're looking at it?
  
  While there may be some hyperbole in Teaparty's descriptions, either they posted the wrong pic with the coin, or vice versa.

  You can easily see the luster. It is seen in the lines radiating from the eagle

  It's a crappy photo, but I can imagine what it looks like in hand.

  I'm thinking there is some iridescence; OK, maybe more color than the photo shows.
  
  But luster? Hard to imagine seeing some faint luster under that toning, let alone enough to call it "lustrous".

  I think there will be areas of green, red and orange on the coin, but the luster is mostly escaping my interpretation at the moment.

  Maybe I'm illiterate when it comes to reading photos but, while there might be some color near Liberty's left arm, there is no way I would describe that coin as "intense rainbow toning", nor can I make out any trace of luster anywhere though there may be some near the rim.
