Is this a decent Digital USB Microscope for taking pics of coins?

The OP came here asking for advice on the USB microscope.
You gave them wrong information and advice without having knowledge of the actual item.

As has been shown in photographs, and an auction listing your advice was disproved.

As I have said when I have time and when you have backed up your (False) information and not when you demand, I will post some more pics to disprove your lack of knowledge.
Until then I suggest you do as I said before and view the numerous downloads on Youtube.

I wasn`t calling you names I, have provided clear evidence that your information was wrong , Live with it.

It must have been another one of your exaggerations.

I want to see how good your photos are and not some paid professional on YouTube. If I'm wrong, at least you won't find me making excuses like, "....when I have time...."!

Why don`t we wait for OP to come back, he stated he bought one.
He will be able to show that cpm9ball was wrong and that they will fit over a coin and all the
information he gave was wrong.
cpm9ball Where did you get all your wrong information from ?
Why do you continue to argue when everyone here can clearly see you were wrong.
From the information supplied I think I will be ordering one also.
I mean if they don`t perform like cpm9ball says they don`t then they wouldn`t sell and the internet would be awash with negative vibes
about them.
The only bad vibes I`ve seen about these is from someone who doesn`t own one or know how they work.
cpm9ball, you need to get out more.

 

I did have one several years ago, and it wasn't worth the $50. I gave it away to a youngster in my former neighborhood so he could use it for his science projects.

Who cares if it can fit over a dime. What do the images look like? I can show you a photo of a trashcan, but that doesn't tell you what kind of garbage is in it. What about a Morgan or Kennedy? I would like to see the photos (which I very politely asked to see) to see if they are still as bad with limited versatility as they used to be. No one has proved anything, here, so how can you say I'm wrong?

Hmm, Let me see, you said "The problem you will encounter with this scope is that you can't place it directly over the coin"

It appears you have been proven wrong.A coin clearly fits under the scope and can be viewed flat and not at an angle, the pictures clearly shows it.
As I understand it they are used for magnifying a particular area of a coin, not photographing a coin., so it doesn`t matter what size the coin is.
You seem not be able to grasp this simple operation.
It appears you are having sour grapes about giving wrong information to people and now you are back peddling.
When I get mine I wont photograph magnified areas of any Morgans or Kennedy`s as I don`t collect such common coins.

 

If you had taken the time to read the whole thread, you would have seen reference to an ebay listing with the auction number, everyone else saw it.
You are obviously incapable of copying and pasting the item number into the site to view a picture.
So as you are so impatient here it is, its a Die Break on an 8 of a 1708 Maundy Threepence, I realise its probably hard to grasp but it is a coin,you might not be familar with it, its not American but about the size of a Dime.
I also don`t have any morgans or Kennedy`s for you to look at but they are basically all the same unless looked at under magnification.

 

Enough. Cmon we are are coin lovers. Quit the All Star wrestling crap.

 

I think I finally get it. They're still PO'ed because they lost the Revolutionary War and the War of 1812. It must be bad genes.

Yeah! I'm done with Donald Duckington and Mickey Mouseshire.

Since the OP has answered his own question, I see no need to continue this thread as there are many other on same subject if one wishes to search for them. Certainly, as has been emphasized, one can trash coins or things such as this, but not members, and this was getting close. .

Swagge1, if you wish to reopen this thread at a later date to add your comments on the microscope, please pm me and I will, although you might prefer to just start a new one
