Also, try to select a flat colored backing to setoff the subject coin.&nbsp; Selection is important especially with the different colors a coin takes on and the differences between materials (copper/bronze/silver/nickel/gold).&nbsp; Note the the chartreuse background reflected light washing out the coin in the viewing screen.&nbsp; But the blue was a better choice and helped bring out the coin and it&#039;s details.&nbsp; You might imagine holding the loupe under your phone&#039;s camera (but will probably have to raise your coin to a more optimal level.&nbsp; I hope this helps. </p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1278068[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1278069[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1278070[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]1278071[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
