<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 24026, member: 112&quot;]It is recommended by most grading professionals that 90% of grading be done with the naked eye. And if magnification is needed - 5x is recommended.</p><p><br /></p><p>Higher power magnification should not be used for grading. It tends to make you focus on minute details too much and causes you to undergrade your coins. I cannot stress this enough. This is one of those cases when bigger and stronger is not better.</p><p><br /></p><p>Strong magnification is sometimes required for variety collectors and can also be used if you have reason to suspect that a coin may not be genuine. But that&#039;s really the only time you need it or should even use it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
