<p>[QUOTE="rmpsrpms, post: 2883907, member: 31773"]When I started doing digital coin photography, my goal was to take clear enough images with high enough resolution to be able to "zoom-in" and see variety details like RPMs, Doubled Dies, Die chips, etc in high resolution for attribution and documentation. I was hoping an overall image of the coin could be taken with high enough resolution for this. But so far, I have not achieved this goal. To view details in high resolution, I still resort to using higher power optics.
