<p>[QUOTE=&quot;steve1942, post: 1324765, member: 21699&quot;]<b>Halogen</b></p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;ve been looking for the answer to this question also.&nbsp; What I&#039;ve come up with is a definition from PCGS: &quot;halogen light A powerful light source that enables a viewer to examine coins closely. This type of light reveals even the tiniest imperfections.&quot; and a paragraph from Traver&#039;s &quot;Coin Collectors Survival Handbook&quot;.&nbsp; His handbook states that halogen is a must to see hairlines on a proof coin.&nbsp; This wasn&#039;t an answer I wanted to read as a small (50 watt minimum is suggested) halogen desk lamp isn&#039;t all that cheap.&nbsp; Hope this answer isn&#039;t too late to help.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
