5000 Post Giveaway....(Post Dino-Lite images or any other images) WINNER: guitarwes

STONE · February 27, 2008 9:43AM

Well folks, I've made it to this exciting milestone. Currently I am at post 4900 and figure I will make 100 more posts by the ANA Phoenix show in a couple weekends.

Now, for the giveaway. Before I scare some of you away, I would like to say the following:
Any and every forum member may enter and will have a chance to win, but I will only select one winner. Please post only once, and you may add to your post or edit it as many times as you'd like.

For the giveaway I would like to see your best images taken from your Dino-Lite model. Each person who posts an image taken from a Dino-Lite will have their name entered 3 times in the giveaway, each person who shows a regular coin photograph will have their name entered 2 times, while someone without any image will have their name entered once. I will have my roommate pull a name from a hat and report that winner either on Thursday night before the ANA Phoenix show or right when I reach post 5000; which ever comes first.

For the Dino-Lite contenders:
Add close-ups, full coin shots, U.S. or foreign coins, Toned or regular coins, it doesn't matter and add as many images as possible (I would like to buy one, but haven't settled on a specific model yet). Then tell me what model you got, why you got it, and how you like it compared to a camera or scanner. Add as much info about it you can (Pros and Cons, cost (PM me if you want)).

I'm not sure on the giveaway prize yet, but I will try to make it unique to the chosen winner (Results may vary). (ex: Say you collect Buffalo Nickels, I'll send you a nice Buffalo Nickel)

NOW, go and show me those images. GOOD LUCK

No Dino lite but I got a Qx5

direwolf1972 · February 27, 2008 12:21PM

Congrats on the milestone.

Lets start with my all time favorite photo I've taken. Sorry its darkside. I also should resize it to match up at some point but still love the shot.

Then something a little more practical for this side of the forum. Love the way the color came out correctly and this shot.

tightbudget · February 27, 2008 12:21PM

Not a Dino-Lite. Not my pic, but my coin. I just felt like adding a picture since most everyone did.

Congrats on 5000! (almost)

Here's my Best Bust...

FullStepJeffs · February 28, 2008 11:59AM

Thanks for the offer... I own the Dino-Lite 411T. I'm still trying to get the perfect picture of the coin in question, but here is a picture of the obverse of a 39-D DDO #1 in a PCGS holder:

and here is one of the diagnostics... the small line coming off the E in Liberty:

You can also get RPMs like crazy, if fact I no longer use my 18X loop to verify them... just the Dino-lite...

And you can change the size of the photo...

This thing is the best!!!

jfoot13 · February 28, 2008 12:11PM

well I got my dynolite yesterday and I'm just now getting around to playing with it.... I went with the model 311st with the ms21w stand.. I basically picked this one because stephine was so excited about hers and the pics look great for recording RPMs on my warnickels ... I think she said she had the 311 model but I picked the 311st because it had the picture capture button on the unit.. I'm not real keen on the instructions that come with it as I a little on the slow side with electronics ( I still have a VCR with the clock blinking ) but here's a few pics

thanks for the chance on the givaway .... did I mention I love warnickels
