Loupe/Magnifier suggestions?

I don't have anything to look at coins more closely. Can anyone here suggest a particular type/brand loupe to buy that won't break a cheap bank? Where to buy? Thanks

    ANCO Triplet 10x is a good affordable loupe

  • I just got an inexpensive Bausch & Lomb folding pocket magnifier for about $20 and have been very happy with it- I use it to attribute half dimes so it does get some heavy use. It has 5x and a 7x lenses- I got it from Wizard Coin Supply.

    kylevick on eBay sells Vigors which are cheap and good. Rod Burress of EAC also sells them and swears by them, but you'd have to call him. mrearlygold sells Eschenbachs which are really good but they're nowhere near cheap.
