Pics from a cheap eBay digital microscope

I got this cheap ($14.99 delivered) digital microscope off of eBay. It certainly doesn't compare with better scopes, but for $15 the downside risk is tolerable. The pics below were taken with it.

I used to be somebody, now I'm just a coin collector.
Recipient of the coveted "You Suck" award, April 2009 for cherrypicking a 1833 CBHD LM-5, and April 2022 for a 1835 LM-12, and again in Aug 2012 for picking off a 1952 FS-902.

    Good images.
    I bought one similar (may even be the same one) and I have been fairly happy.
    The plastic parts will break and you will have to jury rig it up after a while but for $15 it is worth it.

    Great pics. Is there a model name/number? Or pic of the scope?

    Great I just sent 2 or 3 of these sets to great collections and didn't even think to look.

    Great images for the cost of the microscope!

    Cool pics... the link OP doesn't work for me, but the second one does. I like that set up. I have an add on to my phone that uses the camera function. Not great for coins...
