[QUOTE="MrOrange1970, post: 2538310, member: 80547"][ATTACH=full]543520[/ATTACH] [ATTACH=full]543521[/ATTACH] I've posted several pictures of coins on the forum. Most have been taken with my camera phone and while detailed, they haven't done well with representing the coins true color and characteristics. Because, I would rather spend my budget on coins than expensive photo equipment, I decided to take a chance on a light box kit which includes the light diffusion box, some different backgrounds, a mini tripod and a couple of really bright led lights that can be positioned around the box. Here are a few of my first pics using my point and click Panasonic Lumia. I took pics of common coins that everyone would be familiar with.

What do you folks think, and I know don't clean coins! But ugly low values I do like to experiment with and I like this new cleaner. I have red, maroon and black backgrounds and haven't tried them yet but will soon! My thoughts are not bad for just a bit over 40 bucks! [ATTACH=full]543518[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]
