My two most important supplies--my plastic tweezers and my 5x--are both from the stamp section. Philatelists use plastic tweezers to avoid tearing damp or fragile antique paper; you would use them to avoid marking up coins. And a 5x, of course, is for things that need lesser magnification.

Definitely a good idea to take frequent breaks, or you could experience short-term muscle aches and vision issues. Report this Post to the Staff
52Raymo Pillar of the Community United States 8526 Posts	Posted 07/09/2012 2:21 pm Another thing I do with my 5x is I try and keep both eyes open when taking quick glances. I only close one eye if I see something funny, that helps too. Oregon coin geek.....* GO BEAVS ! ! ! * Report this Post to the Staff
