<p>[QUOTE="Lehigh96, post: 2071247, member: 15309"]You simply need two gooseneck desk lamps with you choice of bulb. I prefer florescent bulbs because they work well with my camera. Place the lights at 10 & 2 and try to ensure that the light does not overlap the coin and then snap away. Here is a photo I took with my iPhone4 several years ago using that setup.</p><p><br /></p><p><img src="http://i117.photobucket.com/albums/o59/ACPitBoss/IMG_0285.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p><br /></p><p>For toned coins, I often place a coin or poker chip under the bottom of the slab in order to slightly angle the face of the coin into the lights.
