<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 3003240, member: 19463&quot;]Black coins are hard to photograph.&nbsp; If we put on enough light to see detail, some will say the photo does not represent the coin properly but when you look at a black coin or brightly cleaned silver coin what you see is mostly the glare from the surfaces rather than the surfaces themselves. This photo looks like what we call axial lighting or the result of a ring light.&nbsp; With either, light bounces straight back into the lens and makes a record of the shiny little mirror.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
