<p>[QUOTE=&quot;safepub, post: 1939124, member: 28635&quot;]I have talked to many graders over the years and anybody who tells you that there is one right answer, doesn&#039;t know what they are talking about.&nbsp; Graders at PCGS, NGC, ANACS choose their own loupe, and their own magnification.&nbsp; Of course the naked eye works great.&nbsp; But in order to determine the exact grade of a coin, you are going to need some level of magnification depending on what you are looking for.&nbsp; Could be that 3x is enough.&nbsp; The&nbsp; <span style="color: #ff0000">Edited Rules</span>is a very popular one because of its large lens.&nbsp; And some need a 7x or yes, even a 10x to be able to see the details of a die strike or whatever.</p><p><br /></p><p>Try them out for yourself at a coin show.&nbsp; We actually put out a number of loupes for everyone to try for themselves.&nbsp; But rest assured, <span style="color: #ff0000">Edited</span> from Germany are far and away the best loupes out there.&nbsp; They are not cheap, but for graders and dealers who are looking through these lenses every day, the need an achromatic, distortion free lens so their eyes don&#039;t hurt at the end of the day.&nbsp; Good luck to all who stumble on this post thread.</p><p><br /></p><p>Kurt</p><p><br /></p><p><span style="color: #ff0000">Kurt, self promotion is not allowed in regular threads, only in the advertising subforums. .
