They're photos, not scans. And its all in the lighting. Mine are crap co I hand hold in whatever light happens to be around.

So the coins that have been posted on this topic are photos not scanned? They look real clear, ican get close with my camera but not that close.

The images posted by Nevol are captures by USB microscope.
Very useful tool for the Ultra close up's for yhese odd ball cuds.
Not such a good tool for Whole of coin images.:angel:

No problems with showing the whole coin. I can do a full image of a crown sized coin easy peasy.

When I finish this post, I'll dig out a crown sized coin and start from scratch, then I can see by the time I post this exactly how long it takes me to get the images, run them through tinypic and then post them.  

I use the USB Microscope basically as a hand held, but I have adapted some household items to use as aids.  More about that later. :angel:
OK, Here they are:

NZ 1982 $1 Obv


NZ 1982 $1 Rev


Bugger, it put in my original post.:dodgy:

So 10 minutes to find the right sized coin, take the images, save them, crop them in Photoscape, put them through Tiny pic, then post them here.
If you're interested in how to achieve this with the USB, just ask & I'll let you in on the secret. :angel:

I'm thinking I need one of these USB toys. Is there much difference between them?

AAhhh I didn't even realise how familiar the photos were to me, I use to have a handheld microscope with 3 LED lights surrounding the magnifier which showed everything. It has passed on, I forgot all about those little handy things, must make note to buy another one.. Cheers for the memory boost guys n gals lol
