Great Pictures, mind I ask what you used to capture them?

Norm's as good as they come with microphotography. He makes metal flowlines come alive!

Thanks crypto79. I used to have a picture of a toilet paper tube duct taped to a Hello Kitty kid's camera. Can't find it. I may have been the only one that got a laugh from it anyway.
I hold a compact digital camera (Olympus D-40Z, 4meg) up to one lens of a stereo microscope. The eyepiece is 15x and the lens 2x, so I get 30x magnification. There is one light on the side.

and thanks Dennis!

Your photographs will definitely add a dimension of value to Vamworld.com.

Those are great photos!

I like VAMs/close ups too. Here's an 1878-CC Morgan from the Amon Carter Collection. The variety is listed as "Top 100 VAM" Number 20 (1878-CC, Lines in the Eagle's Wing). The photography is courtesy of Todd Pollock (BluCC Photos).

Wow Norm, your pics still rock!

I've always thought you took the best closeups.

Nice clear close up pictures of the various Vams and clash marks. It looks like you have perfected the micro photography of coins with your set up

Here are a couple that Todd did for me

I love close-ups. here is the point of a star on a morgan.

Weg · February 4, 2012 2:36AM

I spent hours and hours and hours going through and looking at and for VAMs on around 400 Morgans and Peace dollars I bought as 90%. Most were AU with many UNC, it was almost like the days when I was a kid going through change. That was something I really enjoyed; so much so that I went out and bought my first DSLR and a macro lens. Even with a good camera and lens I can not get pictures like yours. Those are great.
