    Remember this toy where you roll the ball through the maze? You can use it to accurately adjust the coin’s angle when positioning your camera & lighting. A picture is worth more than 1000 words.

    Very best regards,

    P.S. That is my first 35mm SLR in the picture.

    That should help with those pesky half dimes that are always tilted inside the foam insert! Great idea.

    Brilliant idea! I'd like to locate one of these and give it a go... what are these toys called, is there a particular name to this device?
