bobby131313 Forum Dad United States 24150 Posts	Posted 01/06/2007 06:10 am Sounds like a good deal to me. I think the free one I have is only 2x. One thing though, those glasses are usually curved, which means you probably won't be able to photo a whole coin well. Take a look at my photo and you'll see how the ends are a little blurry.... that's why. Shop CCF Members on eBay. Report this Post to the Staff
just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 01/06/2007 12:39 pm Don't know if you go to flea markets but around here I've seen so many of those things at flea markets and for only a few dollars. You may want to check out if they are made in China and if they have plastic lenses. Not that there is anything wrong with warped, plastic lenses though. Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 01/07/2007 12:51 pm Just got back from my Sunday tours of the flea markets. One lady had so many different types of magnifing glasses it made me wonder why. She said she sells at least 50 a day. Cheapest one was $0.50 and the most expesive was $10.
