<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 1140950, member: 112&quot;]Well, to partly answer your question - there are plenty of coins designated as FB in PCGS slabs that would never make it with NGC. The reason for that is that the full split bands are not the result of a lack of wear. Rather full split bands are the result of the quality of strike. Wear, or the lack of it, has nothing to do with a coin having full split bands.</p><p><br /></p><p>Regarding the magnification issue, nothing stronger than 5x is ever used by the TPGs when grading any coin. That said, fully 95% or more of all grading is done with the naked eye.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
