Did a search and didn't reveal any previous posts. Question is do any of you use a usb style digital microscope or camera for your computer to view coins? Looking on ebay and there are several options. Just wanting some reviews, pro / cons, etc. Thanks

Reply that I posted to another thread and I'll give you that link too. Lots of affordable options out there! https://www.cointalk.com/threads/hello.287228/ ------Welcome Schmotz39! I crh cents (pennies). I started out this past summer. I love it. You were wondering about a scope. I bought one and it is really nice. The only issue is the plastic that holds it to the stand broke. I moved it around way too much so it's probably my fault AND cheap. Good price though and the quality of the picture on the screen is nice! It does not say that it works with Mac products but I assure you it does. I think it's a good value. Check it out on amazon. ABLEGRID 50-500X 2mp USB 8 LED Light digital microscope endoscope Camera magnifier. Currently it's less than $20 with the shipping!

I usually click on display as threads and "search". Severaal hundreds, Jim
I bought a similar cheap one very much like this and it ended up not working with my Computer due to compatibility issues. I have since given up on finding a cheap microscope
Don't worry about the magnification with USB scope . It's all in the mp . Nothing less then a 5mp ....
What was the compatibility issue? This scope said it only worked for windows and I got it to work for MAC. Maybe I could help?
Thanks but it is long gone, the CD didn't function either and it really just got frustrating. I just try to take photos with nice MP cameras and then zoom in.
