Bought it today off Kijiji for $40 from a local seller. REALLY GOOD PICTURES. Its made by OPTEX and I recommend it if you can get one.

Sounds like the same one I'm using - very pleased with it, except now I can get a 400x for $70 , I wonder if you can have too much magnification when dealing with coins ?

Yes, most of the time less then 100x when dealing with coins.

I have seen USB microscopes that can vary the magnification from 1 to 1 through to 1 to 400.

My USB micro didnt have adjustable LED's, and I found that 4 were annoying. A cut small piece of black electrical tape over 3 of them worked out great.
