<p>[QUOTE="srkjkd, post: 199491, member: 7248"]..it is actually nicer than the pic shows.... zane i have a larger orig pic which i can send you..the surfaces appear attractive, i use the high lumen energy saver bulbs (125 watt) for light source and a 10x w/ led to examine coin as well ....know that they aren't high grade, but i look thru hundreds of coins before i will find one...sometimes 1000 after i find one with eye appeal, then it goes thru the strike exam, ect...i put a lot of time in to buy just one common date. i really dig thru them so i can find the best coin for my money...sometimes i get a good buy...other times, i have to let the coin go as the price gets more than i am willing to pay..i would like to be able to go and buy 5 ms63 or so commons and just add them in to my set, but i can't do it. even on these, i will reference the individual coins and the prices thru past auctions(sometimes going to 1993) and compare coins vs price. it is time consuming but actually makes the hunt that much more fun....plus, you learn a lot going thru all the old coins..it also helps you find quality for the grade.... good grief...a lot of work to spend on a $35 coin! thanks for the comments....steve[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
