Grading question
I've been taking online tutorials on PCGS grading 101. And saw a clip where guy was tested on already graded coins. Question is to my knowledge a coin isn't completely graded until it's looked at under a scope for fingerprints and hairlines correct not just visual grading. Reason I ask iay owe someone an apology that probably knows more than me. He told me that it's all visual and I told him no it isn't because they have to look for the fingerprints and hairlines. Am I correct or incorrect. It's from what I've learned from NGC forums that I read up on. I think he may be a moderator on a FB coin site but not sure he never mentioned anything.
