[QUOTE="robec, post: 1442631, member: 19094"]I am sure if you turned the coin in a certain position relative to the light, the coin will look similar to the TrueView. Unfortunately due the the slab, your lens is limited to a big blob of glare. The position can be fine tuned, but will almost always come up short. Without the slab and with a little tilt of the coin, the colors will pop. True they won't be in focus, but with focus stacking software, the coin will look like it was taken with the coin perpendicular to the lens. A couple of examples. Both coins were tilted, but both look entirely in focus. I'm not sure Phil employs this method, but I'm sure he has his tricks.
