<p>[QUOTE=&quot;brinssig, post: 2881220, member: 12147&quot;]I recently bought an 1878s Morgan dollar on Ebay which I think is a VAM 59 but it is hard to tell with a jewelers loupe.&nbsp; The coin dealer I usually go to to have coins checked out has not been open and I have to soon decide whether or not I should return the coin before it can no longer be returned.&nbsp; The only way I can know for sure is if I look at it with a microscope.&nbsp; The one the coin dealer uses costs around $3,000 dollars which is way too much.&nbsp; Does anyone know of a microscope that is not too expensive but would still show the identifying characteristics of the VAM on the dollar or is there a strong jewelers loupe that would still be just as good which is stronger than the one that I now have?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
