<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ProofRon, post: 147191, member: 5170&quot;]I agree about the lighting, and I have checked out a lighting store. I was looking for a 5000 Kelvin Compact Flourescent photography bulb that was recommended for photographing coins, but couldn&#039;t find one- but ended up buying:</p><p>- a 20/75 Watt Daylight Color 6500 Kelvin compact flourescent </p><p>- a 28/100 Watt Cool Color 5000K Panasonic Light Capsule </p><p>- an Eiko 250 Watt&nbsp; 4800K Photoflood Bulb</p><p>I&#039;m already using a 35 Watt Halogen Tensor lamp to grade my coins (after preliminary grading with an ordinary daylight bulb).&nbsp; </p><p>Ergo- I have looked at my coins under a variety of lights, but still can&#039;t get the shine that the dealer does.</p><p>One other detail- all of his coins I looked at were either broken out as singles or were part of re-packaged set, which is another reason why I wondered if they could have been dipped.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
