<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MissSasha, post: 712705, member: 20786&quot;]JUST got this yesterday, an absolutely BEST way to look at error coins. It&#039;s a pathology dissection microscope! </p><p><br /></p><p>The typical high-powered microscopes produce too high of a magnification and tend to be TOO much, but a dissection scope is used for tissue samples and has a smaller magnification, PERFECT for coins. </p><p><br /></p><p>Since plugging it in (it has a build-in light) I was able to REALLY get to my bag of &quot;to inspect further&quot; and go through two rolls of pennies I had laying around. Here&#039;s a pic of the microscope:</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i787.photobucket.com/albums/yy156/LibbyLobster/IMG_1125.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>Don&#039;t mind the dirt, it&#039;s been sterilized and cleaned!</p><p><br /></p><p>My finds so far, after pulling the usual wheaties out:</p><p><br /></p><p>2 off-center cents</p><p>1 cent 1989 D - Repunched Mint Mark</p><p>1 cent 1999 - Doubling in &quot;GOD&quot; on the obverse</p><p><br /></p><p>Possibles requiring further inspection:</p><p><br /></p><p>1 cent 2002 - Reverse die crack through almost the entire coin</p><p>1 Cent 1989 -&nbsp; SSS punched on 4th left column of the memorial (could be post-mint damage)</p><p><br /></p><p>Have one more class today, then I&#039;m going to finish out 4 more cent rolls and go into 3 5c rolls I have been saving for the microscope!</p><p><br /></p><p>Anyone have any idea on value of these so far?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
