I would like to share some knowledge with anyone interested.I had been at this hobby for 50 years when I decided to stop at that landmark.I was away from it for 9 years and the bug has bitten me and I am back at my favorite hobby.For the longest time I spent many hours looking at coins through Loupes,Magnifying glasses anything that would make the print bigger so that I could more easily identify my coin finds.Well now that I am back in the game I would like to put it out there that if you are able to use a microscope it opens up a whole new world of being able to see that fine detail that makes the coin be common or rare also to be able to identify it faster.Light and a microscope made a huge difference for me ,like night and day.Thank You for reading and I hope that it helps someone.I waited way too long.

Nothing to do with coins but that saying brings back a lot of memories for me from 42 years ago while I was serving in Korea.The Mad magazine character and the saying I knew very well.
