<p>[QUOTE=&quot;xtrmbrdr, post: 533880, member: 17193&quot;]The orientation of the subject depends on the orientation of the scope.&nbsp; If I orient the scope correctly the coin orientation will be correct.&nbsp; I have this stand ( <a href="http://www.bigc.com/products_accessories_MS21W.php" target="_blank" class="externalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="http://www.bigc.com/products_accessories_MS21W.php" rel="nofollow">http://www.bigc.com/products_accessories_MS21W.php</a> ), and while it has a weighted base it still takes a &quot;touch&quot; to get the focus right because of the bounce.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>None of the pictures I took are above a 50X magnification, I don&#039;t even know how you get closer, without putting the coin inside the scope.&nbsp; It also has the ability to make a good coin look bad, but since I do alot of roll searching and pocket change searching for my modern collections, this can only make them better, I think?!&nbsp; I ordered some grading books from the ANA, not only do I need the help, but I am hoping to get some input into how these coins are graded, in-hand vs. magnified.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Fred[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
