I've been looking at getting a jewelers class or some desktop lighted class since my eyes aren't what they used to be. What magnification is best for seeing the hallmarks and details on stuff? x10, x20, x30?

These are mine - not pocket fitting - but very useful at home. The far right one gets in real close and can read anything. steve in so az
