west- canuk Valued Member Canada 497 Posts	Posted 04/02/2012 8:48 pm Sounds like the same one I'm using - very pleased with it, except now I can get a 400x for $70 , I wonder if you can have too much magnification when dealing with coins ? Report this Post to the Staff

TonedMo87 Valued Member United States 132 Posts	Posted 04/03/2012 1:27 pm My USB micro didnt have adjustable LED's, and I found that 4 were annoying. A cut small piece of black electrical tape over 3 of them worked out great. Report this Post to the Staff
