Nice doubling. Congratulations. -
Hate to be the one to tell you this, but thats not it. I dont see any doubling and its definitely not FS-801. I think what your seeing is glare from the light playing tricks on you.Comment

It had me fooled. After looking at the images of DDR-004 they do not look the same. I am still thinking the left wheat stem is thicker than the right but it is not FS-801. My apologies for any confusion.Comment

Why delete the pictures and the post?Comment

I'm sorry but, I have a coin microscope with LED lighting and it sucks. I wish I would have researched scopes more before buying it. No matter what I've tried with it, the lighting causes crazy shadows and glare. That was the case with these pictures.Originally posted by Kloccwork419 View PostComment

That may be true but deleting the pictures and the post isn’t helping anyone. Other users can see what the comments are about and learn from it.
If you have a hand held scope, turn off the light thats inside of it and use an outside light source. If you are using an outside light source, diffuse it to help with the glareComment

This is what I have.Originally posted by Kloccwork419 View PostYou do not have permission to view this gallery.

Not familiar with that type of digital microscope. Can you shut off the light? If so then you can try other light sources from different angles. I have an OTT-LITE model OTL-13BRB that I use with printer paper to reduce glare when needed. But I still find proof/lustrous coins challenging to get decent images of.Last edited by sumdunce; 01-13-2022, 01:17 PM.Comment

I would turn that light off and use a separate diffused light from the outside. Plus, using a scope to search coins isnt very reliable. Too many ways to get a false positive or be looking to close at something thats not thereComment

Thank you.Originally posted by Kloccwork419 View Post
I'll try that outside lighting suggestion. I generally only use the microscope for photos. I use a 10X loop to access coins basically.Comment
