I use my smartphone, a glass and a softbox light for high quality images.
For super close up macro shots I use a projector lens with the smartphone.

Also remember that not all lenses take sharp images.
You got to read the tests of a particular lens and
determine its strengths for optimal aperture setting
and at what focal length.

Good point by nickos, the lens will only focus to a minimum distance.

Interesting thread, I too like collecting silver coins.
I first got my silver coins in the early eighties, they were given to me
by a neighbor at the time, I was about 12 and I still have them.

I don't have many, but from time to time I'm on the look out for additions.

Best of luck with the adventure and will be nice to see the updated thread.

I have some doubles of coins to sell if you are interested? I can send you pics and you can make me an offer if you like?

Thank you aristarchus123 and apence.
The coin has had very low circulation,
strange to think wear happened to one side in a specific location
and without affecting both sides.
Would this be related to the fin on the rim I wonder

Hi Spence, thanks for posting.

My main focus was the rough area around the date.
The fin is a bonus I suppose !!

Well there are people willing to buy/sell eBay accounts.
Now I know why someone would buy an existing eBay account!

Has Anyone Panned For Gold?

nice.
I was doing a little research about gold panning in Ireland
and there is definitely gold here and its 24k.

I also read that all minerals, gold, silver etc. belong to
the state. People are allowed to pan for gold and are allowed
to keep the finds so long as the nuggets are not over 2g smaller
flakes are ok to keep, oh and we are not allowed to sell the finds.
the state treat small finds by individuals as "hobby" panning.

Anything on a larger scale needs an extraction license !
