A tip for reducing hot spots, especially problematic on bright examples like this, would be to shoot with lights pointed at, and bouncing off sheets of paper around the coin (rather than lights trained on the coin itself), and/or, to wrap your lamps with tissue paper or tracing paper, for more diffuse lighting. This will provide a much softer, flatter type of light. You will most likely need to adjust your aperture and shutter speeds to accommodate the light, and due to this, be sure you are shooting with the camera mounted to a copy stand or tripod, even if these are of a construction of your own design.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
