    Impossible to grade from those photos. They appear to be blazers!

    Welcome aboard

    Well those Aren't very good pictures are they they basically look pristine in person. I came across these lovely specimens over the last week or so. The reverse is the same

    Well that probably didn't help much either I'm not a very good photographer and I'm just learning how to use the microscope. I'm a newbie numie. Lol

    Too much glare to grade.
    If you were to crop and rotate your photos, it might help.

    Check your pics before you post them. Out of focus pics are worthless here. Good luck. Peace Roy

    After painstakingly trying multiple methods to figure out how to take a picture of a coin without glare I still don't feel like I was successful but this is the best possible picture I could take with my phone. If anyone has any suggestions on it way to take pictures with your phone I would be thrilled beyond belief to hear how to do it

    Recently I found a few Star notes. And when I went to do a search on the one starting out it says this popped up on the screen.

    Nerves of steel are required with a camera phone.
    Would you hire the above photographer to record your wedding ? Not a chance.
    That's how you must look at this process.
    .

    After many try's sometimes ya just get lucky.

    I know, right??! OMG it took me hours to get that picture. And compound it with the fact that I have narrow angle glaucoma and cataracts. I don't know how to take a picture with my microscope yet. Or download the image to the SMS. I'm trying to conquer quite the learning curve considering my vision. But I really enjoy it ....any suggestions? And any thoughts on the star note search results?

    Are you using a regular coin microscope? Try one of these. Amazon has them. I paid $6 dollars. It
    clips onto your camera lens, has a light and works way better than a regular coin microscope and a whole lot cheaper

    Here are a couple of pictures using the phone microscope. And you don't have to download or upload to sms. Just go to photos and choose. It's easier to edit too.
