<p>[QUOTE="Hiddendragon, post: 6274610, member: 25270"]I take a lot of pictures of coins to sell on eBay and also just for my own benefit. What I've always done is scan the coins in large groups and then use a photo editing program to separate them. This works but takes some time, and the scans don't show things like luster well. I don't have a camera that can focus close enough to make good pictures. </p><p><br /></p><p>What I've been doing is ok, but on another thread someone mentioned using a USB microscope. I was intrigued because it gets close enough and scans directly to the computer. But I'm worried I wouldn't be able to zoom out enough with a microscope. I don't need super close magnification. I just need good pictures. I'm not interested in spending big money on a photo setup. And I don't want something that will be more time intensive. Anyone have anything that would meet my needs? I like the idea of something that puts the picture straight to the computer.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
