Hey,
Anyone got any advice on what to get in terms of a Loupe? Something that I could buy online would be great. I'm also looking for the best setup to take good pictures on coins.

Thanks

I use an inexpensive ( about 10 bucks ) Leuchtturm 10X loupe with a built in LED light that I picked up at a coin shop. It suits all my needs. As far as photographing coins,there is a forum section on this site dedicated to that. I use a Pentax K-X DSLR with a macro lens for close up pics.
