Then I ought to check more references--if only to sharpen my observational skills.
Generally, when hair detail crosses an area where no other detail is present, it raises flags for me.
I think of it as the difference between "believable wear" and "unbelievable detail"

Certainly, the ebay coin isn't a better grade than these two.
