<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 966510, member: 15199&quot;]The best loupes are relatively expensive. I have loupes from China ( 99 cent store, 2 lens, fairly large and sharp) that are as good as any beginner&#039;s loupe. I buy them often, as these are the ones I give to new people at the coin club, or take along extra with my good lens to coin shows in case someone asks to borrow a lens. At 99 cents each they are well worth the price. I use a long focus 10X lens intended for inspecting cloth which I can use farther away from the coin, about $75 now. If I had to replace it , I would probably get a Belomo lens, made originally for Russian military, they are heavier construction and come in various magnifications. Here is the 10X. They have other magnifications available also.</p><p><a href="http://www.amazon.com/BelOMO-Triplet-Loupe-Folding-Magnifier/dp/B0002OVC9W" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.amazon.com/BelOMO-Triplet-Loupe-Folding-Magnifier/dp/B0002OVC9W" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/BelOMO-Triplet-Loupe-Folding-Magnifier/dp/B0002OVC9W</a>[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
