If it has a digital screen attached to it remember not to post any screen pictures. Sage advice.  Remember to use the memory card or a USB cable to transfer images to phone or PC before posting here.  |

you can also buy a longer post for it, I can now get an Eisenhower full coin image from under the scope.

My experience with books has been mixed. I have found that Wexler and Variety Vista are much more productive for learning what to look for, especially combined with PCGS plate coins.
Did you have a particular denomination in mind?

Yes, the sites are often updated with new information. Books require a new edition. Nothing against books though. I am still impressed seeing a good library. |

Well the CherryPickers Guide arrived today, slight damage on the corners and bad damage to the binder. When I picked the package up off the porch I didn't know one end was not sealed and the book slide out and hit the concrete! Going to return it and the replacement will not arrive until March 4th! |

And I moved it from the desk to a neighboring shelf that is about 9" higher. If the shelf above weren't blocking it, I could go even higher. But as it is, I've got about 14.5" between the lens and the desk, 4" higher than when it was clamped to the desk. That yields a field 87x48mm. Not big enough for a 5 ozt round, but that's what cameras are for.  |

The CherryPickers Guide arrived yesterday in good shape. I can see that it will give me plenty to look for. |
