<p>[QUOTE="expat, post: 24620898, member: 111067"]Like most of the "coin" microscopes for sale, the upright support is too short to get a full coin image, they are fine for close ups of relevant areas. But, taking a picture of the microscope screen creates distortion and pixellation. You should be able to save the image to your computer. Todays mobile phone cameras are very good, you can adjust the ISO, white balance etc. Support it on a coffee mug, adjust the lighting sources around the coin, get as much focus without zooming as you can, set the timer for 2 seconds to avoid camera shake and there you have it.There is no "one way" to shoot all as every coin has different colours, surface condition and reflectivity. JMHO.</p><p>Your coin has a bit of die deterioration coupled with strike doubling where the die jumped or vibrated as it struck the planchet. The narrowing of the devices shows this.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
