<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Kevin Mader, post: 8229398, member: 106826&quot;]In my shoebox setup, the picture frame glass reflects the filtered light straight down onto the coin.&nbsp; This virtually eliminates shadows.&nbsp; However, in your instance, you want to see if the shadow will help reveal subtle differences in what looks like a smooth surface.&nbsp; By eliminating the glass, the light is cast along the edge instead.&nbsp; Shadows are more likely this way.&nbsp; If you note in the viewer of my iPhone 5, you can see a darker shade of blue at the 6 o&#039;clock position since some light isn&#039;t being redirected.&nbsp; It&#039;s possible that with a setup like this, minus the glass, you can rotate/position your quarter in a way that you can a) see a date with your eye, 2) catch a date with the camera and some editing in a photo app where you can adjust the contrast/light/color/etc..&nbsp; It&#039;s been done, so unless you try, you may never know if there is a date to be had.&nbsp; Good luck and let us know how you make out.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1446569[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
