<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Daggarjon, post: 78657, member: 4230&quot;]i am just looking to examine coins in general. I know i dont need anythign too powerfull like the 80x range, but i found that 5x or 10 didnt let me see close enough where i could see the finer details. I had(lost) a loupe that had 2 rings (10x+20x) that i readily admit was a realy lousy loupe (Ebay). But even with using both rings for a mag of 30x i wasnt able to see the finer details fo the coin like a double mintmark or date. It could be that the 30x was not the true power of the loupe - since it was a lousy loupe to begin with why not assume the absolute worst. But i do remember that with using both rings, i had to hold the coin further back from the loupe then with just the 10x ring. </p><p><br /></p><p>i did some looking around the net and on Ebay for the stereo microscope - i like how you can link it through USB to the computer... opens alot of possibilities there.... but they are $200 or more. Too rich for me.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
