<p>[QUOTE=&quot;princeofwaldo, post: 3977269, member: 24091&quot;]Where did you come up with that?&nbsp; When I interviewed with NGC back in 2012 and spent a few days in the grading room, there was no such requirement to use a 5x lens.&nbsp; In fact, most of the coins were graded without any magnification at all.&nbsp; Maybe that&#039;s now different but I tend to doubt it.&nbsp; As for grading coins in 5 or 6 seconds, the only person doing that at the time was the finalizer, and he was looking more for slab defects than anything related to the assigned grade on most of them.&nbsp; Everyone else spent as much (or as little) time as they wanted, and there wasn&#039;t any management warlord overlooking things to insure grading standards were sufficiently loose either.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
