<p>[QUOTE="eva, post: 1279549, member: 33341"]Hi, I am just getting started and planning to sort through a bunch of pennies. I have been looking at various types of magnifying lenses on Amazon and am not sure what magnification I will need to see well when looking for errors, etc. I was thinking of buying one on a flexible stand - most have 2x lenses with a 5x or 6x power loupe. For example: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Fulcrum-20073-101-Multiflex-Desk-Magnifier/dp/B003UHVWYS/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.amazon.com/Fulcrum-20073-101-Multiflex-Desk-Magnifier/dp/B003UHVWYS/" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/Fulcrum-20073-101-Multiflex-Desk-Magnifier/dp/B003UHVWYS/</a> </p><p><br /></p><p>Or, should I get the more powerful 10-30x loupe set like this? <a href="http://www.amazon.com/SE-2pcs-Jewelers-Loupe-10X-20X/dp/B001C9JC34/" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.amazon.com/SE-2pcs-Jewelers-Loupe-10X-20X/dp/B001C9JC34/" rel="nofollow">http://www.amazon.com/SE-2pcs-Jewelers-Loupe-10X-20X/dp/B001C9JC34/</a></p><p><br /></p><p>Or, is it a good idea to have both, especially since the stand one has the LED lights?
