Great for you guys that do have good eyesight! :) I'm sure there is a lot of detail on coins that some ppl miss.
You want a powerful magnifying glass and good light.

Very true; most serious coin collectors and merchants have an eye-glass that they use frequently.

I myself have saved some interesting special edition quarters, and really I do need magnification to see them properly.

There has been a whole series of US quarters with motifs to do with the various states...
Make sure you get the ones for Iowa and Nevada (where I was born and where I now live).
