A man after my own heart. Here are a couple of the newest scopes in my office at work (for geological purposes). Of course, evenings and weekends are fair game for coins!

This one is a high-powered binocular scope, with Nikon digital camera mount.

This one is a reflecting/transmitting light microscope with camera mount, mostly for thin sections.

Just added to my collection it took me a few months to find I missed one in August on ebay by being indecisive about price.

My rarest coin I have has a mintage of about 20. It is a 1 Oz silver coin that my workplace made for its employees. :)

That is one tough question. I've been lucky enough to get many rarities.(imho) Is my recent 1858 5 cent discovery (1 known at this time) rare or is it the 1882H one cent with a die showing tripling from the hubbing rare? I know some of my errors are exceptional but maybe rarity should be number known/demand?
