<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hobo, post: 408609, member: 11521&quot;]Sometimes I think I am the guinea pig for the store at ANA. When I am down there they ask my opinion on new books and other new items they have gotten in. The other day was no exception. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I bought a new item they are carrying - a 10X loupe with a built-in LED light. I know. I know. You need a good loupe and a good light for viewing coins but sometimes you just don&#039;t have a good light handy. This loupe should come in handy in those situations. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The loupe is too large to carry around in your pocket for more than a short time and it is fairly heavy. The optics are pretty good; there is no noticeable distortion along the outer edges of the lens. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The light is far from ideal for viewing coins. The light is harsh and creates a lot of reflection BUT it is better than having no light or inadequate light. Once you learn to live with the shortcomings I think it would be a useful loupe for viewing die cracks, mintmarks, details of varieties, etc. at a coin show, coin shop, etc. </p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>The Loupe With Light retails for $29.95.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
