Coin Grading
Hi. Would anyone know how much magnification the graders use when grading your coin? To be more specific when you submit your coin based on grade. I got answers from no magnification to 5x and 10x. I seen few videos on you tube about the pcgs grading system but they never mentioned any loupes used except for doubled dies, errors, etc. If anyone can share some links regarding this topic that be great. Thanks!

Re: Coin Grading
They only use the Magnification to find if there is a previously-known variety that was mentioned when it was sent . . .
