Or, simply get rid of the Loupe, and get a 3.5x - 30x stereo microscope. Less eye strain, and lets see you stick that in your pocket or dryer without noticing !?!

Option #1---Duct tape the dryer door shut before you start playing with your coins and don't remove the tape until after you've put all your coin stuff away.
Option #2---Get a dirt cheap loupe. They may not be as good as the fancy designer ones but they never get damaged or lost.

Yeah a stereoscope would make a bit of a racket in the dryer. I think someone would notice.

Ha! Exactly why I buy cheap Harris doublets...plus I have like ten of them....one almost everywhere I look.....

That is what I do to.
OR
1.You could hire someone to carry yours around for you.
2.Find a place that makes reading glasses of about 10X.
3.Buy only large coins so enlarging is not necessary.
4.Stop collecting coins.
5.Send all coins to me for a closer look.

Glad I am not the only one. I started accumulating them at coin shows, when I would accidentally leave mine at home. Over the years I must have bought several from the same vendor. I am sure he thinks I am nuts.

I suggest selling the dryer and using a clothesline to dry your clothes and towels. No chance of ruining the loupe on the clothesline.

Plus, you can use the money from the sale of the dryer to buy more coins. Win-Win!
