New 1982 DDO!! New Pic Added

Im on the fence. You need to turn the contrast down a little on your scope. Some pics it appears there is some kind of doubling...some don't. The zoom of Li"bert"y looks alot different than the pic of the entire word Liberty. The whole picture of the word Liberty..I think I see spliting. In the zoom it doesn't look like it....I will refrain from commenting further...wait for the pros or pics with adjusted lighting/contrast

I think we see a combination of Die Deterioration and lighting issues. Better pics might help, but the 82's are famous for fooling people.

hi,
with the scope I have it too has six lights, but I put dark tape over them and let the light come from the sides. others may chime in on how to fix the light on the scope

Kman, I have a Celestron 44302 and had to modify the LED's. Read this: My Celestron does not have white balance control it's the same model as yours, I just wanted to know if mine wasn't working for some reason. As for caps;i bought a package of those metal hooks you use on a peg board, they each have a rubber cap on them. I used a black marker to color them in because they were white. You might have to cut the caps a little because they stick down a little too much. As for the LED that I use a filter on, I took one of those eye glasses lens cleaner clothes "the dry ones" not the wet ones, although I guess you could wait till it dries out and I cut a piece about the wigth of the bulb about three or four inches long and wrapped it around an ink pen ink tube then taped it with a piece of frosted tape. Then take it off the tube and pinch one end together and tape it down. Then cut the open end a little at a time until it fits the bulb just right, make sure you cut as straight as possible so you block as much light as you can. There will still be some light coming from around the bulbs but it does help a lot. And you can move the rubber caps and the filter caps as needed. Hope this helps some.

here it is, used to pieces of cut paper to dim the led's
can still see notching and doubling on the L and I

Yes it is a zinc

Not saying it is anything...but send it to Chuck at coppercoins..only a few bucks.

The only choice is ANACS for non CPG varieties when it comes to slabbing.
