I have one of the cheapest outfits that money can buy; Sony CyberShot camera; generic tripod; OMZ1 monocular microscope from the Microscope-store http://www.microscope-store.com/product_info.php/cPath/1_3/products_id/49; 60-W Reveal light bulb in a table lamp. But I LOVE these Ugly Pennies!

You take very good pics with your 'cheap' camera outfit. Some of your coins aren't quite ugly though. The wavy step is a beauty, and the coins with the lamination peels are interesting to those who collect them. Now some of the others...UGLY with a capital UG!!

Geez, I thought I was the only one who liked coppers like that. Here's one I got out of a pack rat hole (after a bit of olive oil).

Some of those coins shouldn't see the light....

I've got some to. Ugly as our mother in laws pictures on your night stand. Surprised Surprised

Kind of scary when you think about it: The daughter usually looks like her mother or will become her in time.



SCARY THOUGHT
