jbuck Moderator United States 189199 Posts	Posted 10/29/2025 11:41 am Scopes are a great tool. No need to defend their use! But the images need to be copied from its memory, not its screen. You loose a lot of detail and end up with moire patterns when you take a photo of a screen. The pixels on the screen and in the camera sensor are not one-to-one. You probably need to get the correct USB cable if it was not included, which I would be surprised if it was. A memory card would be better. You can get an adapter that works on your phone (if it does not have a slot already) or your PC, for more convenience.

Petespockets55 Pillar of the Community United States 5785 Posts	Posted 10/29/2025 4:18 pm If the coin you're asking about was the one with the posted note on it.And it is that RPM, congratulations. Butthis is one reason why images of both sides can make a difference. This is a 1968 S Lincoln Cent. Folks may have been looking at 1970 RPMs to find a match, since that was the date in the title. Words of encouragement are one of the major food groups. We need to consume them regularly to thrive and grow. Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 97083 Posts	Posted 10/29/2025 5:54 pm Lets not jump topics, this one is about a 1970-S cent you posted If you want to get back to this 1968-S cent, please post your information there. If it is about the 1968-S DDO you posted here: https://goccf.com/t/484453 Then we all agree it is a DDO. If it is about the 1968-S RPM topic here: https://goccf.com/t/484458 Then post your (quote fingers) proof there (close quote fingers) But on this one we all seem to agree it is Machine Doubling and not an RPM But at the end of it all, a scribbled note on a post-it note, can come from ANYBODY.

Dough101 Valued Member United States 399 Posts	Posted 10/29/2025 6:28 pm @Dearborn, I agree anybody can just a write a note, I mean anything . Your assessment of this coin said is a " Machine Doubling". PCGS and Wexler sites seen the photos of this coin 1968 S Lincoln Cent also. They both disagree with the coin dealer in town who saw this coin physically. This note is their assessment; not mine and not others. No need to reopen that page for 1968 S Lincoln Cent. Just keep it locked. I would not post anything there. Report this Post to the Staff

Thought someone would have commented on this earlier. Graders do NOT use scopes, they use a 5X magnifing glass. If they can't see something with this, it is irrelevant. Report this Post to the Staff
Dough101 Valued Member United States 399 Posts	Posted 10/29/2025 7:47 pm You are right grading companies used combination; one for general grading use; this one you mentioned 5X to 10X magnification. For sufficient examinations and extremely expensive coins they use digital scopes or other than hand held loupe. Edited by Dough101 10/29/2025 7:55 pm Report this Post to the Staff

And I checked on those 2 topics I referenced above - they are NOT locked. and if you have no intention of not bringing the conversation to the proper topics, then you can just drop it completely right now, Collecting since 1972.
