<p>[QUOTE=&quot;GSDykes, post: 3951646, member: 73321&quot;]Sanderson&#039;s setup is typical, I assume that the white material is cloth, or a very non-reflective plastic. You can buy these off the Internet, easily. Then comes the light control, which the user varies accordingly. (overhead, or 2 at 45 degrees on sides etc). I have made a very simple setup. First some images from it,</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1041176[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>I hurridely shot these, normally I spend more time adjusting the light. Image on left&nbsp; with overhead filtered light, right image filtered from right side. My filters are just layers of acid free paper! Note the bright area on the left of the coin, under &quot;UNITED&quot; which should have been eliminated, but I hurried. Do zoom-in, great detail!</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1041179[/ATTACH]</p><p>The arrow points to where my 6 MP little Nikon sits on the tripod, pointing down into the paper tube, wherein the coin sits at about 10 cm from lens. One light is shown to the right. I can add black felt, inside the tube, for dramatic shots of proof coins! The tripod, is a must for sharp images taken at a macro setting, with 10 second time release. The more paper rolled up to form a tube = more filtration.</p><p>Simple. I will provide more shots, especially showing proofs, mirror surfaces et al.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]1041197[/ATTACH] </p><p><br /></p><p>Above a typical nice commercial type - from EBAY.</p><p>Gary in Washington[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
