Jim Archibald Valued Member United States 198 Posts	Posted 04/07/2009 5:53 pm I'd recommend trying something I've used for years and can't live without now. It's called a 30X light scope which is a small(pocket sized) microscope with a built in flashlight. Great for coin shows and for variety hunting. It's monocular, so it does have some minor limitations, however the "under $20.00" price tag more than makes this a useful worthwhile tool. ~ Jim Report this Post to the Staff

chris12018 Pillar of the Community United States 2130 Posts	Posted 04/07/2009 8:45 pm I was just handed a box of cents as part(small part) payment for a job I had just finished. I was thinking what a better time to start. It seems to be very time consuming. Are there stages to this type of collecting? Report this Post to the Staff
