jimmy28303 New Member United States 32 Posts	Posted 04/11/2009 3:05 pm Do any of you use a microscope that hooks up to your computer to look at coins? If so, What brand, do you like it, how much was it, and how far can you zoom in. I want one but am a little overwhelmed. Thanks Report this Post to the Staff

They work good for closeups of certain Attributes of the coin but doesn't do well with the whole coin but Most people want a microscope to show certain things they dont want to use it as a camera and its cheap and it works so what more can you ask for Report this Post to the Staff
