<p>[QUOTE=&quot;statequarterguy, post: 1444738, member: 21782&quot;]I’m surprised no one has taken issue with the OP’s comment, “You should never examine a coin just with the unaided eye”, which I believe is the initial and one of the most important examinations of the coin.&nbsp; This initil eye examination is what drew you to the coin, it’s called “eye appeal”.&nbsp; After the coin is purchased, eye appeal is the most important factor for me, as I’ll probably never or rarely inspect the coin again with a loop.&nbsp; Aside from eye appeal, I find a 5x B&amp;L meets 75% of my needs – I only uses higher magnification for viewing small details.&nbsp; If one were to use only higher magnificant to view coins, it might be likened to missing the forest for the trees.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
