<p>[QUOTE=&quot;MVC, post: 339449, member: 5290&quot;]Since many have chimed in about their cameras I thought I would start a new thread kind of on the same topic, but slightly different.&nbsp; That is, what kind of lighting works best for taking coin pictures, specifically for those of us with the less inexpensive digital cameras.&nbsp; Also, how does this differ by type of coin (silver, copper or gold) and by grade (copper red, vs. copper brown as well as circulated silver and BU silver.)&nbsp; There was an article about coin photography in the April 2007 Numismatist but that setup cost many thousands of dollars and had reflectors, umbrellas, etc. </p><p><br /></p><p>Currently I have a 5 bulb spider type lamp that I move around to reduce shadows and get all around the coin. Currently they are regular 60 watt “soft white” bulbs. It seems to work ok at times but not always.&nbsp; Have others experimented with clear bulbs, standard bulbs or halogen lighting?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
