When I was a kid my brother had a lighted magnifier that had a tube that loaded from the top with a slide tray at the bottom. One would push and pull the slide to grab, examine, flip and eject each coin. It was great for getting through coins fast. This magnifier's main weakness is that it did not handle coins gently. I would like to find one to sort Pre-1982 pennies, so I am only concerned with speed. I have searched and searched, but come up with nothing. My brother thinks he may still have it and is going to try to let me know the make and model. If anyone knows where I can find such a device, I would be most appreciative. Thanks in advance for any help. Report this Post to the Staff
