coop Bedrock of the Community United States 62064 Posts	Posted 03/06/2015 5:37 pm You have a coin from a VLDS die. Note how the devices look larger, but are not uniform and no spread from hub doubling. Here is a doubled die: You can see the spread from the hub and the devices are enlarged slight larger. You coins' devices the "G" on GOD are flowing together because of the die wear. The 1983 nickel still used the multi hubbed dies yet. So you would see the doubling more even.

tweak800 Pillar of the Community United States 1249 Posts	Posted 03/06/2015 5:46 pm Ok I see what your saying with the uniformity of the devices. What a pain this learning curve for the double dies is. I've got Machine Doubling down and class 1, 2, 3, and 4 are obvious. But just trying to train my eyes to the rest of them . And how about those pictures I got my first begginer microscope that takes pics.;) Report this Post to the Staff

kurdlezuit Pillar of the Community United States 1034 Posts	Posted 03/06/2015 7:34 pm I need to get a microscope that takes pictures, like you say. What is a good beginner brand? I've got the uncirculated down, with a loop and phone, but the older brown coins, are more difficult, with the same lighting. Still working on that. But a scope would be nice Report this Post to the Staff

I bought one of these a few months ago: http://www.ebay.com/itm/DigiMicro-2...em417f334b90 At the time it was $25. I have been pleased with it as one to start out with. There is a learning curve. Maybe I will move up to a better one later on, but for now I'll stay with this one. I figured that for $25 - why not? Report this Post to the Staff
tweak800 Pillar of the Community United States 1249 Posts	Posted 03/06/2015 11:11 pm That's basically what I did cause I was worried about spending too much and not liking it . They go up to hundreds of dollars. I got a handheld Celestron for $30 comes with the mount or you can hold it by hand . Small learning curve pretty simple use. I'm making my own filter now trying to cut down on the light reflection Edited by tweak800 03/06/2015 11:12 pm Report this Post to the Staff
