I bought an el-cheapo microscope camera for $20. It works OK for super close-ups but I cannot fit entire coins into the screen. Had to add a piece of wood to base to get the camera fur enuf away jest to fit this one in. Need a bigger piece o' wood for a 50 cent coin!

Capt.John (me ebay moniker) be new at pictures of these little guys. But I'm learnin.

Perhaps referring to the "el-cheapo microscope camera" you used.

Very nice luster, but weak rim denticles.
Early U.S. gold dollars have the same characteristic.
MS++, but in this case the whole coin seems to be weakly struck.

from what I have seen, fully struck canadian Edwardian 5 cents are almost only avaible in specimen strike, the coin here look to be in the average.

i know its not very rare on those 5 cents but what a stunning luster !
