<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ike Skywalker, post: 2620973, member: 82381&quot;]Proper lighting in paramount. I found this to be true through my own experimentation with the iPhone. I started out with 3 Jansjo lamps, and it worked quite well. However, the phone&#039;s reflection was a problem as it created a shadow spot on the coin at the 6 o&#039;clock position. This was never a problem with circulated coins- only lustrous, mint state coins. Proofs were a nightmare. So I added a fourth and then finally a fifth Jansjo lamp over time. Now this may seem kind of crazy, but 5 sources of light is almost required for my particular setup. If you would like, CoinLover67, I can take a picture of my setup to show you how crazy it looks. Just let me know. I can put it together tomorrow and post it here. It has changed since the last time I took a picture of the contraption. <img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie84" alt=":smug:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>In the meantime, here are some examples of some of my coins, taken with an iphone 6S Plus, except for the first image, which is from an iPhone 4S.</p><p><br /></p><p>Morgan - iPhone 4S and 3 Jansjo lamps:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]575009[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Morgan - 4 Jansjo lamps:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]575010[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>Some Ike Dollars taken with 5 Jansjo lamps:</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]575012[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]575013[/ATTACH]</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]575014[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
