Mr.Bill347 Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Couple of nice ones there, JP, happy hunting! Funny thing I have nearly completed my nickels album and discovered that I was missing the 2004 D Keelboat from the album so I paid a ridiculous $1.60 for it free shipping. Lol 😆 powermad5000 and J P M 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J P M Posted February 22 Author Share Posted February 22 (edited) That is the last of the nickels. Nothing to write home about here. Too bad the 2009 D was damaged by a roll wrapper machine.

EagleRJO Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 Just curious, can you not get full coin pics with the scope you use? If so, do they make a height extension? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EagleRJO Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 I have an extender for my scope which allows me to get full images of even larger silver dollars. I'm assuming JPM doesn’t have that if those are scope images. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandon Posted February 22 Share Posted February 22 My digital microscope can't take a full image of a coin larger than a nickel on its stand, so I place it on a stack of books of necessary height to capture larger coins. The scope has a broad range of focus and was marketed as being able to photograph coins, so I don't know why it was equipped with such a short stand.

Yes, it is maxed out of height in the stand when shooting a nickel. When I am just doing quick shots, it is just easier to click and post. I can focus and hold it by hand if need be or as Sandon said put it up on something. I think it is made this way to fit in the travel case. I take it with me when I am on the road. It takes nice shots with a very true to life color. Edited February 22 by J P M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J P M Posted February 22 Author Share Posted February 22 (edited) If I need a really nice shot, I use my phone, but I have to e mail it then upload it and save it to a file. That can take a bit of time. Edited February 22 by J P M Henri Charriere and powermad5000 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was able to get a 5-inch "extension tube" for my scope stand which might be worth looking into if they even make that for your scope as I like the images that the scope can capture.

I could make something like that out of a 1/2 in nipple, I guess. EagleRJO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Love me these home rolls! YUM!!! It is a shame on the 2009...they are hard enough to find in circulation but then to see that is like a kick in the pants.
