Nice. I'd like to know which scope you bought and its cost. Thanks, Bate.

Wow. Fantastic image quality. Edit: Just checked out the link on Amazon. Incredibly affordable. Hmmm. I have a birthday coming up. Think I'll start dropping hints at home.  Edited by chafemasterj

I had one of those scopes when I first started taking pictures. It was great  until it wasn't.    I only had it for 2 weeks and it just got worse. Maybe I got a bad one. I returned it and got one of these  Opti-Tekscope Digital USB Microscope Camera- Advanced CMOS Sensor, True High Definition Macro 200x Zoom Imaging -1600 x 1200 - Video - Superior Industrial Quality Base - 8 LED |

P.S.
I don't know if I believe all that stuff about the scope, I just know it works better for me.

Now with a great image editing program, you could get even better results:  I edited you image vertically. Normal, Edited Contrast Second image Normal edited with contrast and color editing. |

How much editing is too much? You want to make the coin look as close to in hand as possible, but not by enhancing the image.

I am a graphic designer and enhance pics all the time...
But I didn't want to alter my cent pics, thinking too much contrast may denote from the details needed to discern? As a muted light source is promoting mid-tones detail...
So what is you rule of thumb on contrasting the coin pics? Not too much brightness?... bring out mid-tones? ...contrast shadows or dark levels only?
Any input/tips would be great to get a clearer IMG for posting without loosing details to see what's going on.

Nice, I have the same scope. The biggest difficulty for me is correct lighting. I'm not a fan of the led light that comes on the scope so I hold a lamp at different positions until I am satisfied. Proof coins are difficult to capture as well. Here's an example of a closeup on a proof.  1962 Proof Lincoln Cent DDR 22 |
