[QUOTE="kanga, post: 300485, member: 9270"]I highly recommend a dark gray/black non-refective background with "white" light illumination. The dark gray/black background allows the reflected light from the coin to dominate. I use an ordinary piece of dark gray construction paper (like elementary school kids use in art class.) Couple that with the "white" light and you get an image that closely matches the coin in hand. My "white" light source is an Ott-Lite but there are less expensive options (sunlight being one if you can get close enough to a window.)[/QUOTE]
