It should be in Numismatic Software and Supplies I think. Edited by zacharycash 02/07/2008 12:13 am Report this Post to the Staff

KurtS Pillar of the Community United States 5318 Posts	Posted 02/07/2008 12:32 am Personally, I haven't heard of anyone using that for coins. Have you considered the Digital Blue QX5? The price is very similar, and a lot of collectors have gotten nice results. I have one, and find it pretty effective. Here's an example photo: I got mine at a place called toygroove.com -- very easy to buy there/quick shipping. Report this Post to the Staff

just carl Bedrock of the Community United States 20753 Posts	Posted 02/07/2008 12:56 pm Kind of expesive. What gets me is the add says not available in stores and there is a Target store a few miles from me. Around Christmas they were advertising a kids type one that, not sure, was 300X and for less. Myself, I just use magnifying glasses on a stand, or with lights, or one on a headband and all available at my frienly flea market for a few dollars. Sorry about this but I just can not see blowing up anything on a coin for more than 5 to 10 times. Report this Post to the Staff
IUHoosiers New Member United States 31 Posts	Posted 02/08/2008 2:31 pm I have the IntelPlay QX3 microscope which is (I believe) the precursor to the QX5. Has the same magnification settings (10x, 60x, 200x). I love it... however, I can't get the whole coin in the image - usually crops off the top & bottom edge of the coin. I really like the fact that I can see the coin in great detail on my computer screen and if I want to take a snapshot of it, all I have to do is click the button. Need to find a way to photograph the whole coin now. Report this Post to the Staff
