<p>[QUOTE="Rich J, post: 1856267, member: 67057"]We use a plastic milk carton with the bottom cut out. This creates your light box.Cut just enough off of the pour spot so your view is unobstructed. Flood light at 75 degrees and another on the opposite side at just above horizontal. Coin is placed flat in center with black or green background. Keep the background black for nice contrast on gold and silver proofs. The green background is for use with any coin if you want to eliminate the background with a background burner or alpha adjust in aperture on a Mac. </p><p><br /></p><p>We use a Canon T2i with Macro.</p><p><br /></p><p>Results are flawless.</p><p><br /></p><p>Rich[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
