Until I got my 'new toy', I could only post scans and the quality of them was not much chop, but I just love the scope.  I haven't explored how to use all it's different features, I'm just happy to be getting reasonably good pics.  I still have a bit to learn about lighting, especially for coins in 2x2's, but don't want to spend a fortune. Some of the set-ups I've seen are highly technical and would be beyond me in more ways than one.  life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

Very true trout. Let the craziness begin.
I was originally looking at getting the one the Purple Penny brought, but it was a cost thing...$300 odd. If I'm going to spend $300, I'd prefer a proper microscope which can be plugged into USB when required.
But thanks to this thread I now own a $65-$80 Kaiser Baas unit which does pretty much the same.

What is the largest field area that the microscope can attain?
Will it still accommodate a whole coin, if that is what is needed to be pictured?

I have one of these and it is possible to get an image of the whole coin with a fair bit of fiddling about. A normal camera would do a better job I feel. But for close up detail the usb gizmo is the bees knees |

I've started a new topic to post some images and measurements, so you can get an idea of what it's capable of. https://goccf.com/t/111156life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

Hey you guys, how come no-one asked where the rest of the CoF States errors are? I only just realized there's none for WA, NT, NSW or Qld.  I must have been well and truly sidetracked by the Tennis.  Coming to a thread near you soon.......... life is a mystery to be lived not a problem to be solved

NT - Not many. Although I have 9 NT Error coins, most of them are pretty much the same. 2001 CoF NT Obv - 3 Die Cracks (All on 1 Coin)  2001 CoF NT Obv - Cuds on; Cheek, Nose, Mouth, Lip, Chin (6 coins with variety of these errors)  2001 CoF NT Obv Str through Debris - Temple  The last one has a very minor amount of Die Fill on both sides.
