Ok, lets try this:
Take a nice piece of wood - Oak, Maple, or Pine - sand it down so it is nice and smooth, looks and feels good, huh? but the wood grain still looks flat and not too sharp. Now add a nice coating of wax, or lacquer, or varnish and apply a few coats to the sanded wood and let it dry - Looks great now. The grain pops out at you and is nice and shiny when compared to the rest of the untreated wood. (same principal here. The glue is smoothing over the imperfect surface of the coin and working as a 'lens' of sorts to enhance the design underneath.
