Greetings, All -
I remember reading a while back that graders at PCGS don't use magnification; they just grade with the naked eye for the most part (true?).
If this is so, do they deal with proofs the same way? I was thinking that if they're more concerned with hairlines on a proof, wouldn't they need to look at a proof coin under magnification?

hairlines can be spotted under the right light and by viewing the coin at various angles, rotating the coin as your viewing...
