I want to purchase one for $250.00 or less. I want to look at coins for errors and variety. I want to make pictures of some coins to upload to forums like this one. Any advice on brand or where I should look to purchase one. Also, I want to hook it to my computer, and get images on the monitor. Thanks.

I was looking for a cheap one to try and others have suggested the Zorb for under $50. Found it at Walmart.com with one color on clearance for $18 down from $40. Waiting for it to arrive now so I can post pics.

Check out the Dino-Lite, not sure if they have one in that price range. My nephew has one but it cost more then $250.00. He thinks it's very good and so do I.

You get what you pay for. I have a Dino-Lite AM-411T, and am extremely happy with it. Cost was over $350.

jjper77 => Colonial Acres has one listed for $199 ... they deal directly with coins, so I'm hoping that they're selling a unit that fits the bill (literally) ... coincidentally, I just purchased one earlier today, so if you haven't already purchased one for yourself in a few weeeks I'll tell ya if it's any good, okay? (oh, but please remind me, for I seem to forget pretty much everything lately)
