nikkisilver New Member United States 0 Posts	Posted 06/24/2024 10:52 am I am from Temecula, CA but currently reside in Cape Girardeau, MO. I have been into coins since I was young, but did not know how great of a hobby / obsession it can be, I love it. Anyone know a good magnification / microscope to view errors, chips, etc? I would take any suggestions. Nothing too pricy though, thank you!! Report this Post to the Staff

Sorry I don't know much about coin microscopes but the USB plug in computer ones are popular. The close up image shows on the screen.

Brandmeister Pillar of the Community United States 4680 Posts	Posted 06/27/2024 10:33 am I've been using this $8 plastic iPad magnifier for a year, and it still works really well for basic examination tasks. I've found quite a number of modern DDR nickels with it. http://goccf.com/t/446114 Report this Post to the Staff
