<p>[QUOTE=&quot;usmc60, post: 2635611, member: 76739&quot;]Look I can only speak from my personal experience. As any one will tell you that photographs anything, lighting is everything. Basically had the same problems as you&#039;re having. Tried a variety of lighting options. Could not achieve the desired photo that I wanted. But one of the best things I did, was purchase one of these book lights[ATTACH=full]580703[/ATTACH] I opted to get the one with the two lights. Yes they are LED. But I found that a little frosted scotch tape, put over the light solves the glare problem. A single light works great for taking out the shadows when trying to photograph errors. And I found the double likes work great for a full coin shot. And another little trick is to try reflective lighting. I prefer using a piece of white paper that I can position around the coin, and use the book light and reflect the light back on the coin. You know what they say don&#039;t knock it into you try it.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie86" alt=":snaphappy:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /><img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie24" alt=":blackalien:" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" />[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
