batboy Pillar of the Community United States 650 Posts	Posted 01/01/2016 8:43 pm I'll post more screen captures from my Celestron 44302 and let you judge if the image quality is better or worse than your camera. For example, here is a 1909 Lincoln Cent that I posted in another thread. Shiny coins are tough to get the lighting right and a proof cameo is about as shiny as you can get. Same Ike coin, zoomed in to the "R" in "LIBERTY" to show the peg leg variety. Edited by batboy 01/01/2016 8:44 pm Report this Post to the Staff
rob_ccs New Member Australia 36 Posts	Posted 03/20/2016 8:23 pm I hadn't even heard of USB microscopes until I got onto these forums. I have an A4 scanner so don't need the extra gadget to photograph my collection. A bit more expensive than the prices quoted but more versatile too. I typically scan at 2400dpi so only about a quarter of a typical coin image fits on my computer screen without scrolling. I don't know that 250 magnification would be of general use to a coin collector. Report this Post to the Staff
Andrew99 CCF Advertiser United States 1533 Posts	Posted 05/02/2016 09:22 am I have the DinoLite for ~$100 and it works fine, except: - no autofocus - difficult to get a very large field of view - The light adjusting feature of the camera makes blazing white coins seem a bit more subdued.
