I think better lighting would help. From your photos it looks more like Mechanical Doubling (MD). https://doubleddie.com/144822.html
Yeah. I have a few microscopes that I quickly gave up on because I was the only one seeing things, lol! And I just can’t take a good photo of a coin! No matter what!!
I don’t know how I missed this, but I really wouldn’t expect you to say anything different!!! Lol! I did upgrade to a macro lens, so MUCH BETTER pics coming soon! You’ve been warned!!
