<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3541120, member: 19463&quot;]No, that is not mine.&nbsp; A couple years ago there was a scope seller using one of my photos which happened to be a coin I had owned for years so it could not have been their photo. I do not remember the name of that seller.</p><p><br /></p><p>HOWEVER: I seriously doubt that owl tetradrachm was photographed with that scope or any scope they make.&nbsp; When I have talked about scopes before, I ALWAYS mention that you don&#039;t need high power for coins but really should get one with 10x or lower so you can see enough of the coin to get oriented.&nbsp; Mine is 10-30x and much preferable to the 20-40 scopes IMO.&nbsp; I see zoom as a waste.&nbsp; I rarely use the 30x I have.&nbsp; Mine is dim at 30x&nbsp; unless you use extra light beyond the tiny one built in.&nbsp; My scope fills the field at 10x with a coin much smaller than that owl. I have never seen the one below but it has appeal and is illustrated with an obol or hemiobol which would be possible to see in entirety with the scope given the lower power.&nbsp;&nbsp; That is not my photo either but I have to wonder where they got it.&nbsp; The background would be hard to make that black on that scope.&nbsp; I would like one with photo capability but prefer one with cooler (not halogen) lights and fixed power.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
