10x is the best for almost all purposes.
I agree. I do not need to see anything beyond that, although the serious variety and error collectors are free to disagree.

I have a couple. One is lighted the other isn't, both are 10X. I rarely use the one that's lighted as it tends to wash out the details.

I have a lighted 2x/5x but I seldom use the light. I find that using external lighting is still preferable. I do like the 2x part for full-coin viewing though.

I'm happy with the BelOMO 10X. It's hinge is tight which keeps the lens from swinging out. The optics are clear and lack distortion. I also prefer an external light source. Overall, I would rate the BelOMO above average for it's price.
