<p>[QUOTE="Cazkaboom, post: 1279914, member: 33215"]I use a 10x loupe, but be careful with the LED lights. The type of lights can affect coin grading. CFL bulbs may degrade the coin. For example: A MS 65 coin would look like MS 63. Same with sunlight. Best is a non-fluorescent light-bulb 60 watt or higher to get an accurate grade. LED lights and flood lights make a MS 65 coin look like a MS 67 coin. (what you see coin infomercials use)[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
