Thanks for the suggestion of a USB microscope SeatedNut. I didn't know they made those. I've started looking into them on Amazon and they can get very expensive. I'll have to look at the one you recommended by name.

Thanks again everyone for your help.

Keep in mind, with optics you absolutely get what you pay for. The QX5 is a neat little toy, but it's just a toy. The optics are cheap, the focusing rack is coarse, and it leaves a lot to be desired by comparison to higher-quality microscopes. Although I like mine, I'm well aware of its' limitations and it doesn't provide results that meet all of my needs.
Meddle not in the affairs of dragons, for you are crunchy, and good with mustard.

Look at some of my collection or Join the Coin Community Frappr!
I own Australian coins, too.

Thanks SeatedNut and livingdinasaur! the QX5 should solve my prob with a 1964D Roosevelt double die Rev coin, I can see the double die with a magnifying glass but my camera cant "see" it clearly! Your magnified "P" is an eye opener. Gracias!
