It freely zooms in and out without problem. I can see the optic go in and out. If I can't get it to work right maybe I'll just order the same scope as you and just eat the loss on this one (it was $30). At least I got a stand...
The software packaged with it is called AmScope. I tried to download another program but it won't recognize the microscope.
One issue I'm having is now there's a black area on the picture. Looks like maybe dust or something, will have to get some compressed air and it give it a blast. If that doesn't fix it, might be a problem with the microscope itself. |

Anything a nickle or smaller does "ok" with a full coin shot. Anything bigger and no matter how far out I focus or how far I move it away, you can barely even tell it's a coin. Just a silver blob. Sort of really bummed out I can't do full shots, no idea why I can't but others don't have an issue.
Anyways, here are some results.
1950-D Franklin
1945 WLH

Nice photos! I think your DSLR will only get better with time and a tripod.
It's sort of neat to see the difference. The DSLR has less detail and more of a realistic, 3D look. While the microscope has better details, but a flat, dull, lifeless 2D look.
How about a full coin shot of each? Just for fun! |

For knowledge:
Both Cherry Pickers guides
Loupe (if you don't have one)
A book on your favorite series
If you have a smart phone, the FREEEEEE PCGS Price Guides and Photograde apps. Excellent apps, even if the price guide one crashes all the time. Annoying, but useful.
For fun:
Junk silver, especially SLQ and Merc Dimes. Never know what you'll find.....1916 SLQ prehaps? It has happened more than you think.
Pure investment:
PCGS graded, CAC certified MS64 Morgan. Yes, they CAN be found. You just have to be quick. |

Wooster Coin Club will have their coin show at the Wooster High School on May 4th, starting at 9am. I went a few years ago and it's a nice small show (40-50 dealers).
I'll be there at 9am, as a collector. If anyone is going I'll be wearing either a bright green or orange polo, brown hair, scraggly beard with goatee. Will also be there with my dad (he's in his mid-50's). Feel free to say hi.  |
