<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Ignoramus Maximus, post: 8124035, member: 104741&quot;]Times must be hard when an accomplished photographer and collector asks for suggestions for close-up coin photography.<img src="styles/default/xenforo/clear.png" class="mceSmilieSprite mceSmilie1" alt=":)" unselectable="on" unselectable="on" /> </p><p>If I had a macro set-up I&#039;d try two things. Chances are you&#039;ve already tried them, but I&#039;ll suggest them anyway.</p><p><br /></p><p>Flow lines, especially in and around legends. That could give some fascinating pics.</p><p>And: capture details of the slightly recessed parts around elevated parts (bust or portrait) of a coin, caused by the silver being &#039;sucked&#039; by the strike into the elevated section. They often look like an ever so thin, recessed shadow tracing the elevated part. (If there is a numismatic term for it, I don&#039;t know it. I hope you get what I mean).</p><p><br /></p><p>And those are some great pics. Thanks for showing. The colors of the Athenian tet&nbsp; are captivating. Is the ribbed pattern at the bottom of the test-cut the imprint of the chisel used?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
