<p>[QUOTE=&quot;712, post: 2033214, member: 37080&quot;]I know exactly what you mean, I believe the man just wanted something to take a quick look at the surface of a coin without spending 2 or 3 hundred dollars.&nbsp; He did not give the exact reason he wants one, maybe he&#039;s roll hunting.&nbsp; Take a picture, reference that particular coin if it draws his attention then move on to the next one.&nbsp; If he had the money I&#039;m sure he would have already bought a top of the line stereo microscope.&nbsp; It sounds like to me that he is new to collecting coins and starting to see the advantage of magnification to view a coin.&nbsp; That&#039;s why I gave the cheap usb scope as a starting point.&nbsp; I&#039;m sure its his first and if it does not satisfy him he will move on to the Cadillac of all microscopes.&nbsp; You might have enough money to buy the best but a lot of collectors don&#039;t.&nbsp; I appreciate the time it took you to gather all the info in your definition of what makes a good scope and what makes a cheap one not work as well.&nbsp; I&#039;ve been burned a few times on cheap crap and probably you have to.&nbsp; Its all a learning process, you don&#039;t come out of the womb an expert at everything.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
