<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1212788, member: 112&quot;]Even the ANA guidelines for the type of light to use when grading a coin dictate that incandescent bulbs be used - and that comes from standards published in 2005, long after the different types of lights were available. They specifically state that fluorescent bulbs hide things that incandescent lights show you. They specifically state that halogen and other forms of light bulbs are too bright, and thus they can hide things as well. Or at the very least, cause you to overlook them.</p><p><br /></p><p>These comments about the best type of light to use when viewing coins come from the best in the business. People who been in the business for 50 or 60 years. People who by themselves have looked at and graded far, far more coins that all of us combined. They know these things because they have the experience, they have seen it with their own eyes too many times to believe anything else. And we would be wise to believe them, to trust in what they tells us. Regardless of what our own opinions are.</p><p><br /></p><p>Ever hear me say that - people believe what they want to believe ? Well, this is a prime example.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
