1980 LMC With Excessive Die Scratches?

I am still waiting on my new camera because my phone camera has damage on the lens and only 13mp I think. I brainstormed about all my cameras on hand, even considering trying one of my security cameras, ha ha!

So the pics in this thread were taken with my old HD camcorder. They came out much better than the phone pics and I just cannot believe all the details that show up. Granted, some details were lost after resizing and uploading.

I had a USB microscope a couple years ago but it suddenly quit working and so I quit the project for a couple years. My new Pluggable version is arriving tonight or tomorrow.

I have about 100 pounds of pennies to look at. I have no other way to describe the amount. Just getting the jug to tip over required the strength of 10 men it seemed to me.
