<p>[QUOTE="NewCollectorRick, post: 2830522, member: 84576"]I actually got mine at hobby lobby. I found that I can set this loupe on top of the coin because the high rim and I put my l.e.d. light above it maybe 6-10" and I hold phone somewhere in the area depending on zoom. You just have to play with it. I don't mind sharing info but there are many others in here that are 100x better than me at it. If anyone sees this and can give him other ideas in case this does not work for you. Most of it is just practice and trying all sorts of things. I tried a really strong loupe and it was too much. A 7x-10x seems to be best. Some people aren't using a phone to view so this way it is viewable by people with computers as well.</p><p>I use these 2 for looking for errors and the last setup is for photos. Cheap setup but it works for me. You can also get coin microscope fairly cheap on eBay. </p><p>They do make zoom lenses that clip to your phone I just saw that are sweet so I might try that soon. This is all hobby lobby except light. That's home depot $20 at the most. </p><p>Good luck [ATTACH=full]667068[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]667069[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]667070[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]667071[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
