Buddy Rest in Peace United States 7075 Posts	Posted 02/09/2013 6:57 pm Looks good. You're having much better luck with yours than I am having with either of mine. grrrrrr. And I am happy that you got it because I remember when you bought it and it was supposed to ship from China and well, I kind of worried that you'd never get it. But you did. And it works.

xZACKx Pillar of the Community United States 648 Posts	Posted 02/09/2013 7:08 pm Yeah, I was worried about it too. It took a while to get here, but better late than never. Report this Post to the Staff

John1 Moderator United States 56855 Posts	Posted 02/10/2013 08:56 am xZACKx, Nice pics,but I suggest taking them out of the 2x2's when possible because of the glare. I can't see the trails on the 2012, they are hard to photo. John1 Report this Post to the Staff

CoinsKelly Pillar of the Community United States 3453 Posts	Posted 02/13/2013 10:05 am You do so much better with yours than I do with mine. I have given up on mine except for extremely close shots. You also are doing a good job with lighting. Report this Post to the Staff

coinzip Valued Member United States 104 Posts	Posted 02/20/2013 1:57 pm What kind of Microscope did you get? I think your going to find its almost impossible to get good photos of the whole coin with a microscope, they are just not designed for it..... What you will find is they take incredible close up shots, here is one from my Dino-Lite Report this Post to the Staff
xZACKx Pillar of the Community United States 648 Posts	Posted 02/20/2013 2:53 pm Very nice pic. I got a 2.0MP USB Digital Microscope 10X~200X & 8 LED. I have had quite a bit of trouble trying to get shots of the whole coin because it's so difficult to adjust. Report this Post to the Staff
j-win Valued Member United States 360 Posts	Posted 02/22/2013 01:50 am It takes skill to get all these great shots, skill I don't possess. Report this Post to the Staff
