<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GDJMSP, post: 756226, member: 112&quot;]The Bausch &amp; Lomb 5x you have has the largest viewing area of any quality glass there is - 1 1/2 inches. All others will be much smaller and measure in millimeters.</p><p><br /></p><p>So the question you have to answer is what aspect of the glass is most important to you - viewing area or something else ? You also have to decide what purpose the glass is to be used for - grading or variety/error attribution, or authentication.</p><p><br /></p><p>If it is grading &amp; viewing area, the Bausch &amp; Lomb is as good as it gets, there are no others that match it. But you say you are no longer impressed with it - what exactly is there about it that you don&#039;t like ?</p><p><br /></p><p>I will say this, probably the glass that I use most of all is a cheap, 4x magnifying glass with a 3 inch viewing area that I purchased in a grocery store for about $6. Yes, the lens quality is no where near as good as the Bausch &amp; Lomb or any of the other well know manufacturers. But it is plenty good enough for its purpose - to magnify the entire coin and allow you to see it at a glance. if this is anything that you need to look at closer, with a better glass, this glass will show it to you.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
