The method that dealers used years ago (before TPG's) to test for PL was to hold a dollar bill (using good lighting) about 4 inches away from the coin and see if you can read the bill serial number on the coin.

The method used these days is to hold it up to your finger for the reflection. Although when you've seen a bunch of them you can usually tell without extra stuff.
