Hi all, just a quick question: is it normal for a coin to have a really strong cartwheel lustre on one side and drastically less on the other? I have an ef Victoria sovereign and the reverse has a lovely cartwheel effect while the obverse still maintains some but not near as much as the reverse. Thoughts? Also if a coin maintains lustre like this does it confirm that the coin is in fact extremely fine? The only bit of wear on the coin is centred in a small area around Viccy's brow and ear, apart from that, nothing else whatsoever on the coin. By the way sorry about the crappy photo, couldn't be arsed cropping it to be honest! Just thought I'd show the bust of Victoria as I know people will be asking to see it. C44
