I recently purchased an Andonstar microscope so that I could hopefully look at coins better and see their features. It’s got three lights, two of which are movable and you can position at any angle. I’m having a really hard time with what position, angle, brightness or how to use them at all to get any type of good picture. If anybody has any advice on how to use these microscopes or what settings to use I would greatly greatly appreciate it. Thank you so much in advance!

Still silver. Still cool. Most definitely damaged

I know this isn't currency but I see other silver rounds get graded occasionally. is it a good idea to get this slab ed or should I leave it as is ? I know nothing of grading and would gladly accept all advice on what to do if I were to do so. and where to do it, please?
