  I have found that the best light for viewing slabbed coins is the light over the vise on my workbench, just before I crack them out.

  They that can give up essential Liberty to obtain a little temporary safety deserve neither Liberty nor safety. Benjamin Franklin

  We're trying several at this time. Ott light bulbs seem to be the closest to what we're doing. Most of the coins we shoot are gold. It does seem to make a difference.

  Coin's for sale/trade.
