i think that the issue isn't the micro, but that is a proof with very mirrored and shiny surfaces. this creates reflective lines and hides...
Photographing proof coins is an absolute pain. For uncirculated coins, I use direct lighting with two gooseneck lamps placed at 10 & 2. Now you...
This video and technique is a great starting point. It was one of the first I watched. I'm an enthusiastic supporter of dynamic axial lighting and...
He knows his business for sure. Hopefully someone will try this technique with a colorful proof still in the slab and post their results.
...simplified the lighting problems we encounter photographing proof coins. I was amazed at how simplified this guy made the process. Hope it...
I too have a hard time with photographing PL, DMPL and proof coins. I usually find the level of difficulty to be coin-specific. If the coin is...
I picked this mint set up on Friday and posted on newest acquisitions thread. Here are some photos of each denomination. After photographing I am...
I would recommend getting it slabbed. This would make sure it has a safe environment and could also increase the value if you intend to sell it....
Hey guys. :) Got my reverse (alpha and omega) proof ASE's yesterday and immediately went to task on photographing them. I employed 4 different...

Very cool gift! I have a few examples in my collection that were salvaged in small clumps of 2-3 coins. I have yet to get around to photographing...
not a fan of that at all. Just showed my coin dealer my set and he offered to trade ones he’s getting in soon with mine free of charge as a thank...
it might look like this 20 years later, my 2001 S silver proof that had haze: [ATTACH] and it's still creeping. To be fair though, I'm not good...
I couldn't have done it if I was trying. It happens to be my birth-year set and I picked it up because there were no distracting marks or toning...
This is the best I've done -- so far. The coin is in an NGC slab. And in hand there's no question that it's a proof. VERY mirror-like in the...
There are many threads on this subject. The search function is great. Here is link to them...
I knew imaging proofs would be tough. And I knew it would jump up and bite me someday. Well someday is now. Here's what I've achieved so far:...
Photographing coins tonight for database and hadn't noticed this before. Is this a collar clash on the upper half of the reverse or a MAD with...
I have a 2018-D Kennedy half I'm putting into my binder. The reverse has nice proof-like fields (though the obverse misses the mark). I took...
I was wondering why my photo's of coins looked so terrible, so i did some reasearch and found out the florescent lights i have had for years were...
