Went to the bank today and got $100 of 50c and $200 of $1. Got my 2 loupes in the mail on Wednesday, now I'm set to go noodling. Any advice?

Thanks in advance.

Try using your loupes with your mobile 'phone camera. Some people in the CCF have had excellent results!

Then you will be able to share your fun in more detail.

Watch your fingers don't touch anything afterwards without a wash, may be a good idea to do noodling on a towel (i.e. chuck a towel on the table or wherever you are looking through the coins). Enjoy the process , not sure you need a loupe for noodling though

My best piece of advice is dont hunch your back. Seriously after a while leaning over to look closely at coins your back will be sore as...

I went through 100 coins hunched over and it was bad enough. I cant imagine doing anymore.

Yeah,i have trouble focusing after using a loupe for long periods of time,large mag. glass is easiest for a large number of coins.
