Tommyjet Valued Member United States 334 Posts	Posted 02/13/2016 2:26 pm Hello community, Found this coin and just wonder if it just a die that minted one to many coins. The reverse wheat stalks have matching issues. How does that happen? Also a nice lamination on the skull as well.. Report this Post to the Staff

ReneeB Valued Member United States 148 Posts	Posted 02/13/2016 4:04 pm Hi Tommyjet, Nice photos, and now I am curious, what do you use for photographing? I am looking at a 800X HD 720P 3D Digital Zoom 8 LED Microscope. But it is about $100 and I don't really want to spend that much. Renee Report this Post to the Staff
Tommyjet Valued Member United States 334 Posts	Posted 02/13/2016 4:09 pm Hi Renee, I use a usb microscope made by Celestron Pro .. $85 on major online store. It does ok but you can ask members here what they use, cause some of them have amazing pics. Report this Post to the Staff
