[QUOTE="Theodosius, post: 3878549, member: 77077"]Try progressive lenses in your glasses instead of bifocals. They help a lot. I have one of those lighted, articulated magnifiers you mount on the edge of a desk. I find it very helpful for more than just coining. It is a Xyled mt10 with 7 watts of led light. For a hand magnifier I have an Eschenbach mobilux 5x 20d 140 model. They are expensive, about $100, but the built-in light is very good and they have a large, very clear magnifier. I usually take it with me to shows (where the lighting is never very good). I also use it a lot sitting at my desk. John[/QUOTE]
