Since mintmarks are so small to begin with it's actually amazing that these things are faked and have been for many years now. I would recommend even higher power,possibly 60X with a stereo microscope for this kind of thing. One thing that coin collector's should not pinch pennies on is their "eyes" I have and use a Bausch & Lomb 10X triplet, a 30X lightscope (love it,and it's cheap!) and a QX3 computer microscope. Sometimes you just have to look close. ~ Jim
