<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Paul M., post: 2171990, member: 73165&quot;]I think I&#039;d feel comfortable buying a coin in a problem-free PCI holder from someone I trusted, even if it had hairlines visible at 15x.&nbsp; They&#039;re going to be invisible under light without magnification, so I wouldn&#039;t worry about it.&nbsp; Every coin, even an MS/PR 70, has imperfections if you get it under enough magnification.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If you can buy the coin for a price you like, see if you can get a return privilege.&nbsp; Get it in hand and put it under your 75-100 watt incandescent grading lamp, and make your own determination. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>BTW, if you want to see what hairlines from cleaning look like, the easiest thing to do is get a common modern proof silver half dollar and literally just wipe it gently with a microfiber cloth or something.&nbsp; Then go back and put it under light and look at it with the loupe.&nbsp; Once you do this, you&#039;ll recognize the bad kind of hairlines right away forever more.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
