[QUOTE="Pickin and Grinin, post: 5179702, member: 73995"]Passing time I have used a magnifying glass to diffract the lights. I believe that this is the same concept being used with axial lighting but the magnification and the angle of light, along with the angle magnifier can be troublesome. Here is a photo, 3 lights [ATTACH=full]1212365[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1212366[/ATTACH] I wanted to show the die state The below photos is when I put a piece of glass between the coin and lens. Only cropped with adjustments to the settings before capturing what I saw. This representation is much closer to the in hand look. [ATTACH=full]1212368[/ATTACH][ATTACH=full]1212369[/ATTACH] Looking closely you can see that the obverse die was at the end of it's life, more than 1 rim to rim die crack. Axial lighting is a tough cookie.[/QUOTE]
