[QUOTE="JJK78, post: 1510614, member: 19207"]Lots of good info in Jim's post ^ I have a dinolite model AM311 I believe and it works very well. It can be difficult to get good pictures of entire coins with it but it can be done if you play with the lighting etc. It is definitely good if you are an error hunter or if you have bad eyes as the image you get on the computer screen is HUGE and much easier to see the a loupe etc. I've got some extra time on my hands so I took a few quick test shots for you to check out. All the shots were done using the highest resolution it can do which is 1280x960. The first 2 shots were taken with the microscope about 5-6 inches above the coin and about 25x magnification. As mentioned the LED lights included on the lights can be a bit much (8 LED's on this model), first shot is just light from the overhead flourescents in my room, second shot is with the LEDs on... As you can see it washes out the shot a bit much... [ATTACH]195209.vB[/ATTACH] [ATTACH]195210.vB[/ATTACH] This 3rd shot was taken from about 3 inches above the coin with the the LEDs off. You can definitely get better pics then these out of it if you play with the lighting. [ATTACH]195211.vB[/ATTACH] This shot was taken just an inch or so above the coin at 35x magnification with the LEDs on. Once you get this close the camera itself starts to block out the light unless you play with it or use multiple lights.
