SilverTracker Pillar of the Community United States 589 Posts	Posted 06/11/2018 1:10 pm Hi All, I have begun to seriously search penny rolls in search of mint error's and variety's. I purchased these 2 items off the bay to begin. Let me know your opinion of them and if anyone has any suggestions I would appreciate them. Thanks. Here are the items I purchased: https://www.ebay.com/itm/40X-Magnif....m2749.l2648 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Truweigh-D....m2749.l2648 I also have been researching the error's and variety's that can be found by using of course this forum's postings but also http://www.lincolncentsource.com and http://www.coppercoins.com. If there are any other websites and/or written publications or articles that would be helpful this too is appreciated. ST Edited by SilverTracker 06/11/2018 1:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff

Magnifier;A jewelers loupe is what most of us use.A Hastings triplet is best. B&L Hastings 12x or 14x is what I use along with a 14x doublet. Sites;3rd post down http://goccf.com/t/119631#1031398 Also a good light source. I use a swing arm type lamp with a 35 watt CFL in it. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

chafemasterj Pillar of the Community United States 6514 Posts	Posted 06/13/2018 08:00 am I actually just purchased that same magnifier for the same purpose. So far I can't complain. Does a nice job and I like the fact that it uses 3 AAA batteries instead of those pain in the butt button types my first loupe used. Happy Hunting!
