[QUOTE="19Lyds, post: 2105744, member: 15929"]At a recent coin show that was a bit of a drive, I got about 90 miles down the road and realized I'd left both loupe at home! [ATTACH=full]396972[/ATTACH] Like an idiot, I went in and bought the 1st loupe I saw which looked similar to the one I use the most. Something like $24 I start browsing the bourse and whip out my new loupe, point it in the direction of a coin I wanted to look at and went WTH??? I'd just bought a 4x Loupe which did me absolutely no good at all. I couldn't see a thing! Kinda wasted $24. Lesson: Don't forget your loupe! If you decide to buy one because you're too stupid to remember the essentials when going to a Coin Show, test it out "before" you buy it. As a side note, getting the wrong loupe can literally give you a headache from eye strain.[/QUOTE]
