Thanks, fellas. I've got it now. As a matter of fact, I even own a camera stand (somewhere) which would work great, if I can figure out how to mount the microscope on it. Once I find what I did with it. That would really be cool, for easy raising and lowering.
As soon as I get it set up, I will take a picture of my favorite coin and publish it for all to see.
Thanks again.

Hope you're all staying safe.
I saw that the Plugable digital microscope was recommended by several of you, so I bought one (USB 2.0) from Amazon ($40 model). I am extremely stupid about microscopes and cameras, so I am hoping some of you who are familiar with this could help me.
The description said it is 0X to 250X, so I assumed I could change the power, but I don't see how to do that. And a dollar-size coin is too big for the frame. I know if I raise it up higher I could get more of the coin in.
I am embarrassed by how dumb this sounds but I just don't understand how to do this stuff. I will say the set up was easy enough.
So, experienced users -- please give me some hints. I really wanted it basically just to take pictures of coins.
Thanks.

Thanks, erafjel. This came with a bunch of other currency and coins from an old aunt who died a couple years ago. I'm first getting around to looking at the paper money. I am not sure what to do with it.
By the way, I'm a big fan of the World Coin Gallery for identifying coins -- is there a similar site for currency?

I got my present today, a very nice collection of Ikes, Kennedy halves, and also a '63 Ben Franklin.
Very grateful to my Secret Santa. I'll post pictures if I can get good ones.
So glad I participated again this year. It's always such fun. And thanks to Richard for doing it.
Thanks very much, Secret Santa!

My CCF Secret Santa is in Canada. I think I did something really wrong the last time I had to mail a coin to Canada, but it was long ago and I don't remember what the trouble was.
Can I just put it in a padded envelope? I am housebound right now, and I don't want the person who is going to take it to the post office for me to have any hassle.
Please advise.
Thanks and happy holidays.

I have two one-ounce .999 silver coins from the Republic of Chad. I just noticed that one, the 2017 Deathstalker Scorpion, claims its is worth 500 Francs CFA. The other is the 2018 Mandala Lion that shows its face value as 5000 Francs CFA.
Inflation can't be that much out of control in Chad, can it? Anybody know what that's about?

I met a guy at a coin show who collects 1964 Kennedy half dollars. Not any other half dollars. Not Kennedy halves from other years. Not any other 1964 coins. Just 1964 Kennedy halves.
A collection with a rather narrow scope, don't you think?

| Well, I'll stick up for the ASE. I like the design just the way it is, but then, Walking Liberty is my favorite design of all US coins, so I would. Its only other virtue, besides being silver and pretty, is that I buy one every year, usually at the first coin show of the year, from a dealer who is glad to sell it. |

Anyone interested in acquiring a whole bunch of wooden nickels? I am downsizing and want to unload about 250 of them. Roughly 75% are from coin shows or clubs. They're all loose. I could provide a list.
I would trade them all or a random handful, your choice, for a nice 2017-D quarter depicting George Rogers Clark.
PM if interested. Thanks for listening.
