<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1200341, member: 112&quot;]Pretty much any book on the subject will tell you that the best light source to use for examining or grading coins is incandescent light - and ordinary light bulb in other words. And I have never, ever, seen even 1 dealer at any coin show who did not have at least 1 of these lights on his table. </p><p><br /></p><p>That said, to see hairlines should be a simple matter even without magnification if you turn the coin under the light at the dealer&#039;s table. I will admit that there a few cases where hairlines cannot be seen without magnification, but even then you can still use your loupe and the dealer&#039;s light.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
