On my monitor a 800x800 pixel image may be 8 inches tall, giving over 10x magnification. This may just too darn much unless for doing a forensic study of how the die reformed the surface of the planchet.</p><p><br /></p><p>The LED lights I use are both strong and close. I agree wholly.

After all, we want to have the same emotional response to the picture as we do to the coin in hand. Just easier to see, perhaps.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
