I brought a half penny set a while ago and just decided to check them out with my microscope and what I found made me wonder if they were ever checked before,a 1928 with a die crack under the date,a 1946 with what looks to be die cracks on the reverse and a 1926 with a double from "IND" running under the date to "V".
Sorry no photo's as the site wont let me lodge photo's with BMP at the end and I don't know how to correct it,I'm interested if any one else has come across this on the 1926 half penny.
thanks and regards
Harry

I'll have to use a camera for JPG and it won't be as good a photo as the microscope can produce, I do have photo's from the microscope but none with JPG.
cheers Harry

cheers Harry Hi Harry,heaps of free programmes/apps that will convert to JPG,just do a Google. I use Irfanview to resize and/or convert images,its free and great. Edit..Harry you can change how the Photo is stored in the Software of the USB Microscope. Edited by Basil

The coin is a DDO - double die obverse. A nice variety. You can save the BMP as a JPG with any image program such as paint. No need to take pics of your computer screen. Watch your top knot
