[QUOTE="Arizona Jack, post: 425246, member: 9308"]No Spock, I cannot right now, not tonight. Picture this mentally. Sit a gallon of milk ( Empty Spock, EMPTY !! ) on the counter like you normally would. Get a razor blade, and cut parallel to the counter just below the handle, cutting the top clean off. Place the top half over the coin. The pour spout will be up. this is where you aim the camera thru, the spout. Use your light to shine thru the side of the milk jug, and the semi clear plastic diffuses the light evenly, and 2 lights work better than one. Set camera to macro and shoot the pic. You will eliminate the slab glare and get a nice even shot of the coin. You will need a tripod to eliminate shake. If I knew how to send a pic from my phone, I would do it. I only have one camera. I'll go try one anyways. Give me 10 mins.[/QUOTE]
