[QUOTE="KeyHunter, post: 26219191, member: 122558"]I'm age 65 and these eyes don't work like they used to. I wear prescription bi-focal glasses for reading and driving. For model trains some years ago I moved from tiny N scale to O gauge (BIGGER...skipping HO altogether) due to difficulty seeing tiny parts and details. A recent purchase of Nikon binoculars for astronomy haven't posed any difficulty...I'm hoping for the same good luck telescope-viewing when my observatory is re-opened. I'm looking for recommendations for: - a pocket loupe or similar I can use at coin shows or coin shop hopping; - at my dining room coin desk/work station (now becoming The Coin Room) I like to have my hands free so I'm thinking of a stationary magnifier w/light in addition to a wearable head visor magnifier. - I'm NOT looking for something cheap; I prefer quality well made products...what do the pro coin shop Dealers and Graders use? I re-started coin collecting a few years ago upon retirement and things are progressing well. Thanks for any recommendations and ideas.[/QUOTE]
