<p>[QUOTE="GDJMSP, post: 3712410, member: 112"]High magnification is all well and good when you're trying to figure certain things out, and it allows one to have a higher level of understanding. But, the level of magnification that one uses depends on what you are trying to do. Take grading for example, 95% of all grading is done with the naked eye. And only 5x is required for grading coins 67 and up. Magnification higher than 5x is typically only used to confirm certain varieties that cannot be confirmed with 5x, and even then 10x is as high as you need go.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>A hundred thousand is nothing, there are dies that have been known to strike many times that. Some over a million.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
