<p>[QUOTE=&quot;ToddB67, post: 2891735, member: 18134&quot;]As alluded at 2) in post #6, as the power of magnification increases, the field of view decreases. Also, with the higher power loupes, unless you have one with battery-powered illumination, or arrange a special light setup, you will have to get so close to the object being inspected that your head blocks out ambient light .</p><p><br /></p><p>IMO, a nice compromise is 10X, as it gives a decent field of view and will be sufficient to spot most coin errors. I use a Bausch &amp; Lomb purchased from an out-of-state seller through Amazon, so didn&#039;t have to pay tax.</p><p><br /></p><p>There are many aspects to consider when making the right choice of a loupe that&#039;s best for your purposes and your pocketbook.
