UPS guy literally gave these to me just a few minutes ago; here's the coins I had submitted to ANACS: https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/tje0...ey=k5h1n9wb7iwwdblqcteq8poqg&st=sj9bmfgu&dl=0 https://www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/10mf...ey=02vwpijwb0f3wg8yjr4ity8yh&st=4hqujk0q&dl=0
If you find a better way than I did, let me know. Lighting is the most annoying part; lighting them enough to show up well but in a way that doesn't reflect too much off the coins.
I agree on the lighting issue. I've also tried setting the holder up but at an angle with different types of lighting. That's all I got as far as taking Pics of coins in slabbed holders.
Here's what I do. I have a gray desk mat and I lay the slab flat or I lean it against my coffee coaster ( hmmm, I should get a new one) and which ever looks the best I use. I have a wall lamp with a LED and a dimmer to effect the lighting, which I didn't bother with for these photos and the Morgan just happen to be on my desk. I use PhotoScape to crop the images.
I use my phone on a small tripod on my desk, and an LED desk lamp. Kinda got to get just right, then crop out all the extra space. A little glare, but works well for coins behind plastic.
"Attempted coin photography" That's not so bad, we get the gist of it...nice specimens! Regarding other attempts: The LAPD arrested 2 crows for attempted murder! But a judge dismissed the charge, saying that with only 2 perps, he didn't think they could prove the charge.
I have done a decent job with the camera I've had for 30 years. It's old, and I would like a new one, but both of my attempts to find a replacement have failed. I would love to get some good advice, the guys in the camera stores have failed so far.
