<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dimeguy, post: 1195829, member: 19855&quot;]Dear original poster: Sorry if this is percieved as stealing your thread. Just thought I would share some results, so feel free to let me know if I sort of crossed the line:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Ok, I did some playing this morning. Essentially, I tried different lighting, angles, views, and coin materials to see what sort of baseline photos I can achieve. Below are photos of various coins in the collection...nothing too fancy. No editing of the photos has been performed. Let me know what you guys think:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Copper:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Look at those wheat ears!</p><p><img src="http://i765.photobucket.com/albums/xx292/dimeguy_2010/Wheatcent.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Small or large date...you decide!</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>No LED:</p><p><img src="http://i765.photobucket.com/albums/xx292/dimeguy_2010/SmalldatenoLED.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>LED:</p><p><img src="http://i765.photobucket.com/albums/xx292/dimeguy_2010/SmallDate1960.jpg" class="bbCodeImage wysiwygImage" alt="" unselectable="on" /></p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Silver:</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>Can you ID this Franklin variety?

Thanks again to the original poster for making all of us aware of such a great deal. In general I find the LEDs do work to your advantage on silver more than anything. However, if there is a small area: mint mark for instance, the LEDs work best to surround the area your are photographing to gain a clearer sense of what to draw the reader&#039;s attention to. In other words, don&#039;t expect an all around crisp photo as the purpose of the device is to gain a crisp view of a small object in relation to the whole coin. Again, not a bad buy at all![/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
