<p>[QUOTE=&quot;desertgem, post: 3890701, member: 15199&quot;]I think that some are being rather polite as we have no idea how much you can spend to take photos detailed enough for identification as to mint variety or damage. If one said they have a nikon with a 55 micro/macro lens, we would discuss stability of the camera holder and light for the photo. When I saw it was magnifiscope ( and APP for certain phones/computers, I realized you were a victim of pixel interpolation by the app. If you magnify the image too much , the resolution of the product would have blank space because they have no true data, but the inventors, found they could guess estimate what the blank would look like and inserted these false data pixels inside true ones and it gives a fuzzy, hazy, no sharp lines or shape images. If you just needed identification of what a whole coin was, you would be OK, but if you wish to know if it is a variety ( most common thing here) , we can not tell by that type of image. No electronic magnification will be as sharp as an optical one. It may look sharp, but it is often still part fake because of the software. Hope this helps.
