[QUOTE="Clavdivs, post: 3878489, member: 93702"]I was wondering what older collectors use for magnification? Is there a "go to" loop or magnifier that is reasonably priced? I have seen some desk type magnifiers on articulating arms that look promising - but you never know as the reviews are mixed (and I don't place much stock in online reviews anyway). This type of set up may appeal to me. I am also not sure what magnification level I should look at 3X, 10X.. just not sure. As we get older this is more of a problem and frustration. I wear bifocals but I find them generally useless for almost any task.. and probably take my glasses on and off 50 times a day. I'd rather not have to set up to take a photograph - just be able to pick up a coin and examine. Any suggestions would be appreciated.[/QUOTE]
