<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 2273893, member: 19463&quot;]While mentioned above, I am a real fan of 3D magnification as provided by reading glasses too strong for use with books.&nbsp; For $1 Dollar Tree stores sell reading glasses.&nbsp; I use 3.25 for coins over my regular glasses.&nbsp; Your eyes may vary.&nbsp; Thry them in the store looking at the coins you will use to buy the ones you select.&nbsp; I also have a stereomicroscope that I find fun but not necessary.&nbsp; Being able to see in 3D is a real plus IMHO.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>I also suggest a good bright light that puts off very little heat.&nbsp; Mine is an LED daylight balance desk lamp that can double as a light for photography when you are ready for that.</p><p><br /></p><p>A good camera system for coin photos and the device that allows you to project your images to your big screen TV is another good magnifier.&nbsp; You should see an obol on a 65&quot; flat screen.&nbsp; I don&#039;t have a TV that big so I take photos to my daughter&#039;s place for viewing every so often.&nbsp; </p><p><br /></p><p>At the price of TV&#039;s on Black Friday sales, you could buy one that accepts USB drives and have a running slideshow of coins whenever you want.&nbsp; That is guaranteed to get on the nerves of other family members in no time![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
