It's called the "school of hard knocks". It just takes a lot of studying authentic specimens and a lot of reading about how dies and coins are made. As for the photographic requirements, you might want to acquire a book like [I][B]Numismatic Photography, 2nd Edition[/B][/I] by Mark Goodman. I should point out that if you are using a phone camera or one of those digital microscope cameras, the book might not help. ~Chris[/QUOTE]
