Excellent, picking up more!
Personally, I do most of my CRH with a loop.
For two reasons:
A) I can manipulate changing the angle I'm looking at the coin. Sometimes, a slight angle (therefore, also a change of lighting) can reveal something which you may not see if only looking straight on with a scope. I often angle a coin slightly under the scope also, to see / photograph.
B) I'm sort of the opinion that, if I can't see it with a loop, it's not worth it to me to keep.
All that said, I've upgraded several times from a $19.00 scope to my current Elikliv EM4K. More than sufficient for my level of searching.

Very cool you got another of those boxes, look forward to seeing your finds! As for the scope, they don't even have mine listed for sale anymore but there are a pile of different ones out there. Just do a search on the bay or Amazon for "microscope camera" and several will come up. Congrats on the new baby!
