What Instrument Do You Use To Look Over Coins Before Submitting?

Boey

Wha types of instruments does everyone here on the board use to look over coins before sending them into PCGS to be graded? I use a 10x magnifying glass. Works pretty well for me. Does anyone use any powerful magnification microscopes?

Sincerely,

5x is plenty to guess what pcgs will do.

10x Hastings Triplet from Bausch & Lomb.

I agree with pop1 though. With 5x you can see anything
you need to.
