I have discovered, in my short adventure as a coin collector, using NGC Journal board is no differnt.

Update: New Digital Microscope examples

Learning to use the computer editing program for the Celestron Deluxe handheld digital microscope is amazingly easy with exceptional results.   Even this old U.S. Marine has no problem using this tool of the trade.Below is an image of a more detailed example of the image quality the Celestron Deluxe handheld digital microscope can accomplish (under $60.00 at Amazon.com). It is a 1921 improperly cleaned Morgan. The image shows how the Celetron microscope can, when using the accompanied editi

My Handheld digital microscope

There is a lot of comments pertaining to digital microscopes so, I bought one. The experience is great. I am new at collecting coins and learning that my years of museum work and history research work relates to this newest adventure that I am on.

Loading up my first set of coins to registry.

Listing the first set of coins that I have purchased. I have one 1799 coin that the seller beleives to be fake. Soon, hopefully, I will have this coin certified. I am learning the in & outs of the NGC coin registry. Although I am new in this adventure, I do see how this benefit will be extremely helpful.
