<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Insider, post: 2533976, member: 24314&quot;]40 power is too much and 60X is virtually useless unless you use it with halogen pipe light!&nbsp; That is probably why the scope was free.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>If the majority of TPGS recommend 5-7X to examine a coin and they rarely need a scope that should tell you something.&nbsp; The photo&#039;s you post are pretty good.&nbsp; If you really get into this, $250-350 will get you a decent high-quality used ZOOM unit (7X-40X). Otherwise, virtually any scope with fixed powers (10X &amp; 30X is common) can be had for much less; but 30X is useless too!</p><p><br /></p><p>I&#039;m not qualified to give an opinion about the mini-scopes that attach to a computer as I don&#039;t use or need one.&nbsp; Whats important is most &quot;work&quot; on coins is done between 3X and 10X WITH GOOD LIGHTING.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
