Wow again Coop! That's quite a lot of information, but having worked in studios years ago, I understand your setup. But in the first images. I can't figure out where your camera lens is. LOL
I figure I will soon have to invest in a decent coin microscope which with the time I have might be a lot more practical. Do you have any ideas what I could maybe pick up in the $100 or less range?
Also - after all this, I would like to know your conclusion about my coin.
Thanks so much. I learn a lot from you and the whole Forum.
