Dont reply to anymore of my stuff or this. Cuz i dont want to here it. He's dry but I don't think he was trying to be rude. I actually found the 'down goes Frazier' remark quite funny. But he gets tired of saying that microscopes aren't a necessity in numismatics and tend to do more harm than good. Essentially, they let us see very minute details which are not meant to be dissected. Did you know the standard magnification used by a grading company is 7x? Anything beyond that can be misleading. btw...the forums here are free. Personally I haven't paid for a membership to NGC though I do have direct submission privileges due to the ANA membership. Roughly the same price as NGC associate level with a monthly magazine thrown in. w00t! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greenstang Posted September 18, 2019 Share Posted September 18, 2019 (edited) Personally I don't see where VKurtB was being rude, it's just his sense of humour. Instead of the usual stock answer such as "It took a hit PMD", he just added a little humour to an often asked questioning. As the USB, I have to agree. If I can't see it with my little magnifying glass, I will just disregard it. Who wants to carry a USB around when showing a coin.

Well, it's true. I do own a numismatic microscope. It has no USB anything. It is a fully stereo scope with a third optical path for a camera, digital or film (I do use both). The most common magnification I use with it is 3.5x (half of 7) and I wish I could get it to go lower than that.

KarenHolcomb Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Idek if that is a 1. Looks like a 7 to me. Just my 2 cents worth. USB is the cord you plug into the short and wide slots in the front of your hard drive. Like an HTML only not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No Render, some people think that numismatic microscopes all have cables to plug into a PC and that it's important that they use all magnification available to them, optical and digital, when in fact ALL of that stuff is completely untrue. Just for "gits and shiggles", here is an advertising photo of my "coin microscope". Mine was ordered without the stupid camera you see here. I use a 24.1 megapixel Sony or a film camera on mine.
