<p>[QUOTE=&quot;calcol, post: 2990720, member: 77639&quot;]I recommend a two-lens folding magnifier with a wild field of view for coin work.&nbsp; It will give you three levels of magnification&nbsp; (a stepwise zoom), and you can see a lot of area at once.&nbsp; The cheaper one (~$25) is the Baush and Lomb with 4X, 5X, 9X magnification; the better quality one is the Eschenbach Precision with 4X, 6X, and 10X magnification (~$100).&nbsp; Despite their wide field of view both are compact and easy to use.&nbsp; Both are available from Amazon and elsewhere. I have an old B&amp;L 3X, 4X, 7X that I&#039;ve used for years, but don&#039;t think it&#039;s available anymore.</p><p><br /></p><p>I use higher powered triplets (10-20 X) with a narrower field of view for gem work, but find lower power and wider field more useful for coins.</p><p><br /></p><p>Cal[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
