<p>[QUOTE=&quot;cpm9ball, post: 1376428, member: 24633&quot;]I agree with Jim 100%, and if you&#039;re into varieties and errors, it is almost impossible to provide quality close-ups without quality equipment. &quot;The proof is in the pudding!&quot; How often have we seen people posting photos here that were so bad, yet they expect us to be able to tell them if their coin is an error or variety. At best, we can only guess. </p><p><br /></p><p>But, the gist of the OP&#039;s opening post was that he wanted to get a microscope to take full coin photos which just can&#039;t be done for any coin except the smallest like the cent or dime. While you don&#039;t need to spend thousands of dollars for professional-grade cameras, lenses, lighting, etc. there are some basics that are almost a necessity, a decent camera with a macro function, a copy stand (or at least a tripod) for clear photos and decent lighting instead of a windowsill or nightlight. </p><p><br /></p><p>Chris[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
