Love my new stereo microscope

loanshark

I got the 10x/20x set up and find about 90% of my time on the 10x setting. Don't think I would ever have used the 30x feature. It's amazing what you can find on coins under either power. Glad I didn't look at all my coins under the scope before I bought them. Probably would have passed on half of them.

My wife gave me one last year for Christmas... I hope you enjoy it as much as I do mine.

Help,

getting ready to buy one of the scopes... want to add my mavica on it to get some closeup pictures of Jefferson Nickels... any ideas which one would be the best for this type of application?

Thanks In Advance!

The 3D effect of the coin's relief is incredible under a stereo scope. Remembering the first time I used a stereo scope to view a coin, I was blown away by how the relief popped off the surface of the planchet.

Steve, check out WindyPines on eBay.

I know they seem expensive, but it's a place to start (and dream!).

Thanks... I was actually thinking of this place...

CoinOptics

and fell outta my chair when I opened your link... lol

The real question is... since I want to add my Mavica to the microscope, and CoinOptics looks like they can do that, which one would be the best possibility to get the best picture possible?

Yes, I don't have money to burn on this item... I just want something to take pictures of the steps on my raw stuff and a good closeup of the rest of the coin.

Here's the problem I have now... I can't get close enough to the coin.

or it looks washed out...

And Thanks!
