[QUOTE="MontCollector, post: 2783604, member: 85496"]Welcome to CT!!! It sounds like what you have is a great start. A decent 10-15x loupe and [B]good lighting[/B] is really all you need. Instead of trying to get lighted loupes or magnifying glasses I would suggest you change the lighting in the room some what. A swinging arm lamp with a good "White Light" bulb will really go a long way. I also have poor eyesight and getting these has helped me tremendously. I have also been thinking about getting a set of jewelers glasses to wear instead of using a loupe. I think this may help as well. As for this. There is no "Getting rich quick" in coin collecting.
