<p>[QUOTE=&quot;RonSanderson, post: 3464221, member: 77413&quot;]Your comments are thoughtful and deserve consideration. </p><p><br /></p><p>One possibility that should be examined is that the coin is fine but my photos stink. </p><p><br /></p><p>There are a lot of photographic variables left unexplored, even though this animation combines nine different light angles. The lights for this shoot were axial (or close to it), shining down right into the tiny striations that create luster. This shot may be more clinical that what I see in hand. The surface texture would be emphasized at the expense of seeing luster.</p><p><br /></p><p>I have tried altering the angle by moving the lights further out from the coin. I am trying to simulate the angle where I hold the coin to see it cartwheel. Again, nine images are joined, but the light angle is closer to 30 degrees from vertical. I have not tried it at an even shallower angle but I could if there is interest in that.</p><p><br /></p><p>Unfortunately I think this will break the thread onto a new page, so scrolling up and down to see the images won&#039;t be possible. But two browser windows could be opened to view the image in post <a href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/lets-see-your-newest-acquisitions.158772/page-1205#post-3463755" class="internalLink ProxyLink" data-proxy-href="https://www.cointalk.com/threads/lets-see-your-newest-acquisitions.158772/page-1205#post-3463755">#24096</a> and this one side-by-side.</p><p><br /></p><p>[ATTACH=full]921342[/ATTACH][/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
