Im looking to get one of these.
Does anyone have a similar model to one of these and can show a picture of a coin that they took? Or know which model would be the best for cleaning and photography?
It seems like something i would love to use for cleaning also.
But if im gonna spend that kind of money on something i would like to see some feedback from anyone that has one of them.
It should be everything that i need if it takes pictures and allows me to watch what im cleaning on T.V. (plug to computer then plug computer into tv). :)
the model im looking at is the Dino-Lite Pro AM413TL (<--copy and paste it in google)
Anyone played around with them?

One thing to look out for is that most models will not allow a photo or image of the whole coin at once. They are too powerful and will just pick up part of a coin unless it is a very small one. Otherwise they look like a fun piece of kit for examining coins really closely, just no good for coin photgraphy generally.

as far as cleaning goes, I don't hink you need any more magnification than 30X
My current scope has 5X - 10 X 15X and 30 X, and nis fantastic for cleaning and seeing small details
For the Scopes that display on the screen, I was looking at those too, but was worried about the lag between the scope and screen, I would have had to have a dedicated comp for the one I was looking at. or be faced with massive upgrades.
Make sure the 2 ( scope and screen ) will display in real time with no lag . I think it would be incredibly frustrating , especially during the cleaning, to have lag
here are a few post that might help
