I use a Hastings 10x triplet (have had it for over 35 years), a cheap 2x w/ 4x insert, and always carry a 2 lens folding magnifier (I think B&L) in my laptop bag.

Oh, by the way, the Hastings is the best, by far.

Most of the time I use a Belomo 7x, occasionally a cheap 10x, and very rarely a H.E. Harris 16x. I find that the 16x must be held very close to the coin to remain in focus but that makes it a challenge to get enough light on the coin.

I've used an Anco 16x loupe since 1972 and it has served me well.
