Thanks SilverCent: Collector friends, We swap hunt for each other to find what we are looking for. trade this and that I have a couple dealers I buy from also. This is a pic of the USB Scope I use. It's ok but it sucks on shiny coins due to the lighting. Take this coin see how it looks DARK on the full pic of the coin. The coin is NOT that dark its the lighting from the scope I need a better one. Its a Andonstar USB Microscope.  Edited by Daves Errors

Is the light source hot? LEDs are not great for images. Can you shut off/dim the light source?
Earlier question about carbon spots. They develop and can not be removed as they are part of the metal.

Coop: Yes to the HOT? and if I turn the light down Pictures are to Dark. Its time for a better setup I have had this scope for 7 years now. I cant take good pictures of Silver/Clad coins. WAY to much glare from the shine and white light.

Very cool Dave. That's very neat, maybe one day I'll reach that level of stature in my community, when I have a community to be apart of. I move much too often. Ah I see, looks like a great microscope though. I'm stuck with this USB plugin thing. Pretty decent but it can be a pain sometimes. This thing: https://www.amazon.com/Plugable-Mic...p/B00XNYXQHE |

SilverCents: Look in your area or close and look for a coin shop or look online Talk to the owner and see if there are any coin groups/clubs close to you and join make coin friend that will open up a big door for you. Even if you move keep in touch with your group/groups of new coin friends. Your RESCOURCES will then grow. That's how I started years ago.

Oh I have. I mean, I've found a LCS that I love to go to, but I wouldn't say I'm close to the owner. Interesting, I'll try to do that once things become more open and such. My age however prevents me slightly from doing much, as I am not 18. I've been trying to do that here. I've been moving country to country, yet I've been able to keep in contact with a few of the members here.
Thanks for the tips! I'll make sure to remember them.

Nice find Dave. I've seen similar anomalies around single numbers before but never found out if it was true hub doubling. Quote:

We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow.

Maybe try turning it down/off and use a different light that will work better for you.I use a modified "Mighty Bright" Book light, up the power to 12V and used a 14 Watt bulb:   This one is a LED, but the options is you can use just one light. Description: Quote:
Music Stand Light, Clip on LED Book Lights, USB and AAA Battery Operated, Reading Lamp in Bed, 4 Brightness Levels, ideal for Bookworms, Piano Player, Kids, Travel (Dual Arm) The option is there are 4 lights on two flex lights. Choices of 1-4 lights can be used at once or just a single one light source. Cover the bulbs with a plastic grocery bag piece to two if too strong. A single light source is best for micro images as it allows light and shadows. Probably last a long time with only using one light instead of all 4? Should be able to flex to where you want to use it. I'd see any of my type. If you did find one, it would probably have to be used, or someone selling off old stock. Edited by coop
