16x Folding Magnifying Glass

If you are going to collect coins or banknotes you need a good magnifying glass. Not the prop that they always use with Sherlock Holmes, but one you can actually use. We use a 16XWide Field holding magnifying glass. The way to use it is, put the glass near your eye and then bring the thing you want to see into the glass until it is focused. We have used one for years and we wouldn’t want to be without it. After all you might miss all those over dates without it. With banknotes you can see all the fine detail of the engraving. We import these magnifying glasses from the United States, but they are made in China. We find their quality and price to be excellent. We also like the fact that the magnifying glass folds into itself to protect the lens. It will take a little while to learn to use it, but once you have, you won’t want anything else.
