<p>[QUOTE="stevereecy, post: 849089, member: 19884"]I bought this really cool loupe at Office Depot about 4 months ago. Don't know if yours has it, but it has three lenses that can work together or seperately, so it can give you 3x, 6x, and 9x and it was like $8. The lenses are fairly good sized considering that it still folds up so you can get it in your pocket. I think you'll find that different people use different magnifications for grading. I tend to use a 3x and 6x for grading stuff. But I know a guy who is a fantastic grader and he only uses a 10x loupe. FWIW, I find that if I can't see a variety, overdate, repunched mintmark, etc. at 9x, then it isn't something I want to collect anyway. </p><p> </p><p>Steve[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
