<p>[QUOTE="silvrluvr, post: 276522, member: 4204"]In my opinion, nothing beats a stereo microscope with a light. It also allows you to see the coin in 3-D, if you have two eyes. They can be found reasonably inexpensive on eBay. Just keep the magnification power low...maybe a 5X-20X variable would cover all of your needs. I use a 10X/20X for looking closely at coins, and a Bausch & Lomb 5X packette for grading when necessary. The major grading services use either no magnification, or 5X at the MOST for grading. Hope this helps.</p><p><br /></p><p>-Jeff[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
