Scooby Due Pillar of the Community United States 4000 Posts	Posted 12/09/2010 11:57 pm I think it's kind of cool. I haven't seen many really late die state coins like that. I would keep it for educational purposes. Is the wear and tear in the fields from pitting of the die? Report this Post to the Staff
Conder101 Bedrock of the Community United States 17884 Posts	Posted 12/10/2010 12:32 pm Luster is caused by the movement outward across the face of the die by the planchet metal. The really tight flashy luster is from when the wear is tiny. As the wear increases the luster becomes more and more subdued. Finally the wear becomes visible to naked eye and you see a satiny or even an orange peel surface and if it keeps continuing and getting larger you get what you see on this coin.
