@Jaelus you bring up a good point, and Mark Goodman mentions this in his book. I typically place my lights at 2 and 10, so I will polish from 6 to...
Thanks, everyone, for the suggestions! I’ll try one of these and post the results when I can.
I have about 25-30 coins that I would like to photograph, but the slabs are severely scratched. For instance, the scratches on the slab below...

Hello everyone! ALL AUCTIONS END TOMORROW!!! I am cleaning out some of the raw stuff that I have accumulated over the last year or so to...
It is an attractive coin, but I do not think the toning is dramatic enough. No star
