The website title doesn't mention the 55x microscope which is a bit odd.

Is there really a 55x microscope, does it work and what is the largest area of coin that you can see with it, please ?

godless117, I'm sure you could find one at a coin shop near you. for example mine was baught at a place called century coins and stamps.
you could check there if you live in Mississauga. century coins number is 905 822 5464
Feel free to call me Will.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/390632481796 (it's a keychain also and with led)

http://www.ebay.com/itm/310801007489

For what I paid for I'm happy.

I am terrible at making decisions and still to this day am yet to pull the trigger on a loupe.

There is too many choices its overwhelming.

I did a fair amount of research on loupes a couple years ago and settled on a Belomo 10X

They're made in Belarus, formerly part of the USSR. Apparently the plant where they are made used to make optics for their military.

I love mine.

Here's a bunch of listings on ebay.

Baush & Lomb Hastings Triplet, 10X. I have had mine for 35 years, it works out to a $1/year. Don't skimp, your eyes will thank you.
