<p>[QUOTE="saltysam-1, post: 1737816, member: 23368"]I'm a little harder on grades. I would say either VF25 or VF30. There is weaker detail in the hair and gown from wear than I would expect from a VF35. Plus, the rim's and dental's seem weaker besides. However, all this might be more of a lighting angle problem. Another question: Are you using halogen bulbs? Both sides of your coin seem to have a yellowish look to them. I use JDRC GX5.3 50w and found out the reflector pan inside these bulbs can be different as well as clear glass verses frosted around the element. It's like a bulb sealed inside the larger bulb. The clear gives a yellowish light, the frosted more natural.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
