Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com/itm/252694633942
This is an amazingly powerful loop / scope Tha you will love, I bought this on a whim, then when I got it I could not believe the quality. If you're a VAM Collector, or looking for repunched mint marks or any thing you want to examine closely you will want several of these. Just take a look, it's about an inch and a half long, comes in a nice pouch and I was surprised I got it in less than two weeks from China. These could sell for $25 retail in the U.S. one note, it shows it being clipped to a cellphone camera lenses but it didn't include a clip.
Just passing on a great find. It's lighted by two Bright LED'S and also has a black light which is great for viewing Watermarks and other security features.
Buy one for a friend while your at it!

what kind of battery is required? (the listing states it is not included)

Without commenting on the product....it is remarkable that one can have a product delivered from China to their door for a deuce and a quarter.
It comes with batteries, in fact you can't buy the battery here for less than you do for the scope and shipping. It also has a nice leather pouch that has Velcro to keep the flap closed. Most items that have lithium batteries claim there not included so they can ship by air, I've bought a bunch of gadgets from China and they always claim no battery and they always do.

This always blows my mind too. How does it work?? I can't even mail a slabbed coin that cheap across town.
Although technically I did receive a rattler Slab in a paper letter envelope, wrapped in paper towels, with less than $1 in stamps on it.
Not to be a voice of dissent...
Ultimately I just can't reconcile sending money overseas. I know most things come from there but still avoid it. I got some rail mount pistol and rifle lasers once, just to try it out. I was not surprised when they fell part after a few rounds. I also wonder how much lead and bad chemicals they use in manufacturing.
Sweet looking gadget though.

I bought one. For $2.28 and 13 cents in ebay bucks, it's worth trying. If it works as well as Texast stated, it is a bargain.

Ever heard of epacket?
When I visited the Pudong airport cargo terminal in Shanghai a couple years ago, there was a lot of mail waiting to be loaded. I mean a lot! Likely much of it was due for the US. Maybe not as much as from other Chinese airports though.
"""Ever heard of epacket?""
Sure have, but it is still 8000 miles from Hong Kong to New York. As others noted, I can't ship a slabbed coin across town for under $3.00 (including packaging and the obligatory gas to get to the post office
).
Wow...that is unbelievably cheap.... that alone makes me wary..... Anyway, do not need 60x...Cheers, RickO
Cool. thanks for the tip.

Thanks @Texast just picked one up
Insert witicism here. [ xxx ]
The U.S. pays China to send it? Now how would that work?
I would assume the Chinese gov't picks up the postage, anything I've ever bought from the Far East was delivered (essentially) for free and the USPS had to get paid something (from the seller).
Great products at super low prices.
My last purchase was for one of those ultra powerful flashlights that only cost $6.00 with free shipping from China.
Be prepared for a long time getting it as the 'free shipping' took close to two months to arrive.

I needed a 1 time use diamond tipped glass cutting bit.
It cost 11 cents DELIVERED from China, bought off of ebay.
I cut 4 holes in the bottom of bottles, just what I needed to do, and the bit was getting tired on #4.
The holes were cut cleanly, and I just trashed the bit when I was done.
For 14 cents more, you could have had two bits.
Thanks @Texast !!
I couldn't resist for that price and ordered one . Thanks for sharing
I just ordered four of 'em.
I figure if one is a good deal,
four must be 4x better!

I'm in the you got to be kidding me camp. $2.28 piece price, free shipping.
Why would I want this? Junk.
Optics cost money.
Regardless the cost of shipping vs. pc price. Crazy.
Reminds me of the quote from the movie Contact - "Why buy one when you can buy two for twice the price"?
Wow, how a little scope brings up all the trade problems. Today it's China, in the 70's and 80's it was Japan, and the 60's West Germany.
It's always something, this country is addicted to Debt, why not, these countries give us the products we buy whether it's a two dollar item shipped from China or the $200 Saw you buy at Home Depot that was also made in China, what do we give them? Nothing, digits in a fake bank account, we give them Debt.
I remember one of the jobs I had, and lost to one of the biggest liars of the early eighties, Lee Iacocca, after our nation bailed out Chrysler the first time he went on television as the Chairman of Chrysler and shouted "Buy American" I worked at Great Lakes Steel in Detroit, the main supplier of steel for Chrysler, until the terms of the bailout required him to buy the cheapest steel, and Japan stepped up and dumped Steel on the market.
If you really want this Country to be Great Again get rid of your personal Debt which is nearly 12 times the National Debt, over 160 Trillion Dollars.
Oh to keep this coin related hears a coin picture.

Debt (and money, for that matter) in the form of fiat currency is simply virtual debt (and virtual money) and is worth only what we all pretend it to be worth. As far as I'm concerned, China can continue buying up all the debt she wants. Digits on a computer screen are very easy to produce....
It's all smoke and mirrors - nothing more, nothing less.
And as our great leader says.... "What,Me,Worry?"
Ordered 2.
Gonna get me a $50 Octagonal someday. Some. Day.
I don't nurture and cultivate any notion all they are getting is keystrokes.
I am a realest, I have waited a lifetime for a real businessman to take the helm of this country, I would have preferred someone like Warren Buffett, instead we have Donald Trump. This country we all love has done it's best to destroy itself, and that is a true shame. It was not NAFTA, it was our own gread. We wanted everything cheap.
As another posted he has no debt, I also have no debt, no credit cards, only debit. I worked for this government Local, State and Federal In Uniform, If most of the public knew how our Government has schemed to keep us dependant on handouts they would better understand why our Nation is going to hell in a handbasket.
As Numismatist most here understand what Fiat Currency is, most here know that the Federal Reserve is only a branch of the World Bank, not a true part of the Treasury. Read up on "The Business Roundtable" set up under Nixon, then you will find out who really runs this Country.
Back to the scope, the picture was not taken using it.
And now a coin picture to stay on topic.

I thought this was a COIN forum, not a place for politics.
Actually, I think the comments are more related to economics... which, however, do get manipulated by politics...Cheers, RickO
@CoinsAndMoreCoins ...Your powers of observation are amazing.....
Cheers, RickO
Sorry, you're right. Now if I could only find where that darn "S" went and how I can get it back under the date where it belongs....
Some of us have old tired eyes and need all the help we can get!
Ordered one.

I like that thanks fo r the link.
I have been researching Franklin Half varieties for years. If you would be so kind, could you identify “German zoom optics”? This is exactly the cellphone detail and resolution I need to document the elements in some varieties. I have used cellphone add-on optics in the past but I find the depth of field is always too shallow to focus on the entire 3D feature.
Thanx,
ron
Umm, nice!
Thanks so much for the (American made
) data and detail. I have been favoring the Leica EZ4 or ES2 Stereoscopes so this pretty much nails it.
Know this is really a subject for a new topic so I will stop but your time & kindness is appreciate.

Price just dropped to $1.99. Sucks to be all you suckers who paid $2.28! lol
Good one, LOL
I just ordered one at $1.99...
Same here. Around 20 left.
I rolled the dice. This will mark the one and only purchase from a seller in China. I feel a bit foolish but if it's real I'll be happy. If not I'll just file a claim and let the chips fall where they will. I'm not gonna sweat it.
Price reduced to $1.99.
Now Baley and Grote can get in on the action!
Massive deflation, gold is up though...
you guys are seriously worried about two dollars?

I got ebay bonus bucks with my purchase, so I only paid 22 cents more..
