[QUOTE="gbroke, post: 1430353, member: 22585"]I'm not at home, so I cant show my setup. But for slabbed coins, here is how I do it. Which is one of many ways to do it. I don't have many slabs, and all are toned coins, so I struggled for a long time until I think I was able to capture good images. Since the plastic slabs cause a ton of glare, I position the lights like this. I also tilt the coin up slightly. *slab shown here is not mine [IMG]http://www.thecoinnection.com/tempimages/templight.jpg[/IMG] This yields these results: [IMG]http://memberitemcdn.thecoinnection.com/1000_ii116888174f96207dd6d57.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://memberitemcdn.thecoinnection.com/1000_ii114035154f66d02251b18.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://memberitemcdn.thecoinnection.com/1000_ii116917324f9622e227dc0.jpg[/IMG] PS Detecto.
