<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 1983309, member: 15199&quot;]Loupes with close LED lighting will enhance any defect on a coin surface. They often makes the surface appear doubled or badly abused when it isn&#039;t. I have a 30 year old long focus relief 10X Edmund &#039;thread counter&#039; lens I wouldn&#039;t sell for $300 that fits my eyes/glasses needs. I tried to find a duplicate for my son, but couldn&#039;t, so I bought a 10X Belomo for him to carry. I have several 99 cent store magnifiers for the tiny visitors&nbsp; that want to use a magnifier also, and let them keep them if permitted by their parents. Buy the best you can. Most people can not keep a hand magnifier in focus if it is over 15X. At home we use a B&amp;L Stereozoom with supplemental eyepieces[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
