<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ordinary Fool, post: 2666585, member: 85318&quot;]We should settle this like gentlemen. How about you just send me the coin for all the missed Monkey&#039;s Uncles past and we&#039;ll call it square? I would like to see some better pix of this and several other of your coins, seriously. I wish I could see what I know you must be seeing, clearly. Looks like he got his lips smashed into a waffle house flat iron.</p><p><br /></p><p>Now for a random invective diatribe; I picked up a higher end GTE off brand cellphone the other day for 20 bucks. It&#039;s a pretty amazing handheld touch screen computer that just happens to have a phone, internet, wifi (cast images wirelessly), great camera (sound controllable), gyroscopic goodies, GPS and all sorts of cool sensors/functions. Just saying is all. Add a magnifier in front of it&#039;s lens and it gets kinda amazing for what it is.</p><p><br /></p><p>I snagged one of those phonescope trinkets. The magnification is too strong to be useful for coin work. The magnifying apps will do most cell cameras to around 5-7X max and most also have a great light too.</p><p><br /></p><p>Eventually, I&#039;ll get around to substituting a more appropriate lens to provide less magnification at a longer working range, along with whittling a better diffuser out of a milk carton or something...for the Phonescope failure. At least it is for my purposes. Meanwhile, the magnifier app works well as an illuminated loupe and a good high-density touchscreen does render pleasing results to my eyes. I hardly carry a loupe with me anymore.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
