<p>[QUOTE="desertgem, post: 3381760, member: 15199"]Cpm9ball is correct IMO, but if you want something smaller for shows or such, you want an triplet ( 3 pieces of glass) apochromatic ( to get rid of color fringes from lighting) thus making it easier to tell if real doubling or fake images on the edges. The magnification can be anywhere from 5-6 to 16X, depending on what you most commonly look for in a coin.
