Woo Hoo. From Now On My Gold Will Be 7½% Bigger

[phoenix]

I discovered a week or so ago that the American one dime is 7½% smaller than the Australian five cents I normally use, so I bought one on ebay. I think a couple of bucks is a small price to pay to get bigger gold.  Here is some pieces I got on my last outings.   They`re way bigger now.

I like your picture of the dime(and the gold too!! smile)  What lens did you use to get the good results?

Hey LipCa. To take photos of the small stuff, and unfortunately that`s mostly what I find, I use a USB microscope.   If you get one. dont get a 800 or 1000 power. they`re too hard to focus and their depth of field is very small. I took that photo with a 200 power. My `scope only cost 13 bucks but here`s one I found on ebay for 15. Dave
