<p>[QUOTE=&quot;sand, post: 24561666, member: 118540&quot;]About the lighting, what I meant, was that sometimes the direction of the light source (the lamp or whatever is providing light in your room), can affect the shadows of various features on a coin&#039;s surface. When taking photos of a coin, the direction of the lighting can cause certain details of a coin&#039;s surface to become hidden, or better shown. The lighting of your photos, of the edge of your coin, seems good enough, but I&#039;m no expert.</p><p>Regarding authentic versus fake, most ancient coin collectors seem to be uncertain, whether some of their ancient coins are authentic or fake. I may have a few fakes, in my ancient coin collection. It&#039;s almost impossible to know, for sure. I believe that, most of my ancient coins are probably authentic, and probably not &quot;tooled&quot; (altered), and probably have authentic patinas. But, I&#039;ll probably never know for sure. I have 2 ancient coins, that I&#039;m pretty sure are fake. And, I have a few ancient coins, of which I am suspicious may be fake. And, I have a few ancient coins, which I suspect may have been &quot;tooled&quot; (altered). And, I have a few ancient coins, which I suspect, may have fake patinas. It&#039;s all part of the game.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
