<p>[QUOTE="BooksB4Coins, post: 2681960, member: 36230"]Once you have the flips, it'll be easy to figure out how to staple them shut. For starters though... once ready to staple, is the pivot is at 12 o'clock, simply place one at 3, 6, and 9 o'clock, or whatever you prefer that will still hold the coin securely.</p><p><br /></p><p>As for glass, I have an Eschenbach 3x6x9x (one 3x lens, and one 6x lens that together make 9x) that is excellent but costly. While I cannot stress how important good glass can be (your eyes will thank you, trust me), magnification depends on your needs and interests. If only for general grading, 3x-5x will suffice, but if you're interested in varieties or the like, you may want something a little stronger like 10x. Unfortunately, I'm not familiar with the mentioned model and cannot comment directly on it. From the outside looking in though, I see no reason it wouldnt be fine.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
