How does one tell if they have the "Light Finish" variety ?
What should I look for ?

Thanks,

It's easier to tell the difference if you see them side-by-side, but like the article above says, the light finish variety has less contrast between the field and the devices. In the images below, the first one is the regular finish; the second is the light finish. The side-by-side image has the light finish on the left.

I have both in PF70. Looking at them straight on, I can see no difference,
but if I look at an angle then the difference is obvious.

I had to take photos of both side by side, one head on another at an angle
to see the effect.

Interesting that PCGS has not graded the "Light Finish" variety, yet. But
the NGC numbers indicate this may be a sleeper.
