I had a Haverhill's mini loupe. Welp, it wasn't really a loupe, it was more cylidrical in appearance than what a loupe looks like. My pop gave me it and it sprouted wings and flew away. DAMN KIDS!image Any advice on how to obtain one similar to the one that I had would be appreciated.image
What is money, in reality, but dirty pieces of paper and metal upon which privilege is stamped?

    A quality 10x (B&L, Zeiss, etc) at the minimum. If you plan on looking at a fair number of coins at home, the best and most comfortable on the eyes would be a stereo microscope, like what ANACS uses at shows for their verbal opinions.

    I use that really big job sold on ebay. Does a good job IMO because you can focus it to a rather large field and still get a good X power.
    Need something designed and 3D printed?
