<p>[QUOTE=&quot;huntsman53, post: 208875, member: 1242&quot;]I use an assortment of Gem Loupes for searching coins! The main one is a 5x-10x with two lenses, the second is a 17x and the thirs is a straight 10x. I also have a Mini-Microscope for when I really need to get down to the nitty-gritty of inspecting some coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Lighting and decent Loupes are the keys for finding Doubled Dies and other Errors and Varieties! Incorrect lighting can cast shadows on the coin which appear as if the coins is a Doubled Die. I like the large diameter Loupes for the initial searching and use the smaller, more powerful Loupes for making sure that what I see on a coin is actually what I thought.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are some minor Doubled Dies that are so subtle, that you virtually need a Microscope to detect the doubling.</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Frank[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
