Hi All, Thanks for Welcomes! As I explained I am an older guy and not up with current technology. So far I've been checking my coins for over 2 weeks and still have a few weeks to go to finish. I'm going to search this site to see if I can find how to take a pic/what kind of camera to use for my coins so I can post. in the mean time maybe someone has suggestions.
dave700x, I love the "Poorman's Doubled Die" because it certainly applies to me!!!:)

You asked about what we use to take pix with. Some use fancy getups, digital cameras, professional lighting(lotta dough) others use phones, some just on macro others with clip on magnifiers. I use a USB microscope with a bit of modification(standpipe) for most all my pix. These are between $45 and $300 for the higher resolution models.  Check out the photography thread here for more specifics. Take a look at the resources in the library here too, a lot of good "free" info. BTW, I'm an old dude to,,welcome to the forum! |

Hi and Taking good pics of coins is a big deal, yes. Taking adequate pics, maybe not so tough. Start by reading the instruction book for your camera under "macro" settings. On Canon cameras, it's an icon that looks like a tulip. |
