[QUOTE="wolves69, post: 182004, member: 7322"]I'm still learning myself and am using a NIKKON D200. There are two keys...the first is to find the focal point of the lens to get the best "closest" shot. This is easy, just hold the coin or item as close to the lens until its out of focus. The second is much more tricky. That is the lighting/flash. Every coin has a different texture: some reflect much more light (proofs that reflect most of the light), and those that abosorb much more light (dull coppers) and requires more of it. You'll have to experiment with the angles. Since these cameras are digital, trial and error are much cheaper....[/QUOTE]
