thanks, fortunately, my local coin dealer made sure i had the right loupe's, etc...he sold me two adn said the stronger one was for viewing mint marks, etd. while the other was to be used more for grading...I bought the red book and had read 'coin grading and counterfeit detection" by the pcgs a while back and i still refer to it quite often...I must admit, though, I am not quite as careful with my coins as i should be; i tr to make sure i hold it from the edges, but i do need to get some gloves and be a little more careful with them..
