    Nice photos.

    I have spent money on those fancy microscopic cameras. It’s a waste of money. Every time Microsoft has an update, the camera is useless. I’ve spent over $600 on them, and I might as well throw the things in the trash. :/

    I'll guess.
    It's an 1857 Arrows & Rays Dime.

    This would be perfect for checking for added mintmarks on key date coins such as the 1909-SVDB cent or the1916-D dime.

    I agree. Those microscopic camera are complete waste of money. I’ve posted my close-up setup before. Link below.

    The obsolescence occurred the first time Microsoft had an update. The camera was good for less than 6 months.

    The only way, it seems, to use these cameras is to pair them with a computer that is never on the Internet.
