[QUOTE="MrOrange1970, post: 2538793, member: 80547"]JTlee....Beautiful pictures! Thanks for the advice...without question you can call yourself an expert! Yeah I've been battling the overhead issue. My mini tripod is a bit tippy and it's hard to get proper non glaring light when the camera is so close overhead. Though maybe a slightly taller mini tripod would work. I've been working on angles to try to get the best direct picture. I notice that in macro mode even a slightly less than direct picture can cause fuzziness on the far side of the coin. That said, I am very happy with the way the actual color of the coins have come through so well. With the cleaned coins you can see that there are patches of tarnish remaining and the coin while not retaining mint luster, does have a nice color and shine which shows that no acidic solutions nor anything more abrasive than a cue tip was used. And again the cleaned coins are for my own collection and if I ever did sell them in a lot I would indicate cleaned... To just have a system to work with makes the 40 bucks more than worth it! Will share more pics as I explore.[/QUOTE]
