<p>[QUOTE=&quot;rmpsrpms, post: 2946934, member: 31773&quot;]Lighting is almost always the problem. The most sure-fire method is to use a pair of lights, one at around 10-11:00, and one at 1-2:00. The lights should be at as high an angle as you can make them without having the camera/lens block the light from hitting the coin. Light type doesn&#039;t matter so much, since you can adjust white balance in the camera or in post processing, but the two lights should be the same type.</p><p><br /></p><p>Point the camera straight down at the coin. You can give the coin a tiny bit of tilt to help with lighting. Lift the bottom (date) side of the coin to tilt it a little toward the light. Not too much or it will be tough getting the whole coin in focus. </p><p><br /></p><p>If you have too many &quot;hotspot&quot; highlights on the coin, add some diffusion over the lights to spread the light out more.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
